Week of November 23, 2009

There are no tests this week other than today’s math test. We are reading a charming fiction story about camouflage, “Hungry Little Hare”, and students are expected to learn these vocabulary words from the story: scent, avoid, disguise, disappear, sneaky.

After Tuesday morning’s time travel to 1620, in the afternoon our “Tastings” geographic travel takes us to Greece.
There is no homework due next Monday, but there is a lot coming up to keep in mind. Remember to continue your daily 20-minute reading at home. For some, the 5-day break from school may be a perfect time for you to work on your next book report (& project) due the week of Dec. 7, and/or making crafts to sell at our Kindness Market (Dec. 15).
Coming home today: End-of-trimester timed tests of addition & subtraction facts (some of you wrote goals about improving your word on basic facts.)
Due Dates:
Tuesday, Dec 1: Salmon colored Kindness Market planner & the November Book It Calendar
Week of Dec. 7: Book Reports (see description of the 3 components on my webpage)
Tuesday, Dec. 15: Kindness Market-have your “goods” here ready to sell by 8.
This is the final invitation to families who are available to come to our Mayflower reenactment… Come to Room 203 at 9:50 (stop first at the office to get a pass). We will start promptly at 10:00.
Students, remember to bring or wear your “costume”.
I wish everyone a renewing and meaningful Thanksgiving weekend!
Ms. Lambshead
