It was great to see some of you at the Fall Festival! And I'll see even more of you this week at Parent/Teacher conferences. Just a reminder that there is no school on Tuesday and Wednesday this week due to conferences. Also, conferences for middle school students are NOT mandatory. You only need a conference if you have concerns that you'd like to discuss.
This week in...
Social Studies (A and B Days)
We've begun our European Exploration unit with the Geography piece. We're learning about Indonesia (then called the Spice Islands), the West Indies (Carribean Islands), and Africa, and how these different places played a role in European Exploration. We'll have a Geography test next week: A Day on Tuesday, Nov 7th, and B Day on Monday, Nov 6th. The kids will have study guides that they'll bring home over the weekend.
ELA (A and B Days)
We're continuing our work on narrative writing. This week we'll look at the difference between telling versus showing what is happening.
ELA Homework Reminder
- B Day students received their vocabulary homework 10/23, and it is due on Monday, Nov 6th. They'll have an assessment on the words that day as well.
- A Day students received their vocabulary homework on 10/24. It is due on Tuesday, Nov 7th, and they'll have an assessment that day.
Wishing you a blessed week!
