I can't believe how fast time has flown - we are ending our 3rd marking period! Officially, the ending date for this term is Wednesday, March 8, but our grades have to be completed asap so report cards and all of that other fun stuff can be printed in preparation for conferences...so many things going on! Any work that your child wants graded needs to be submitted by Monday, 3/6.
*If your child takes medication for allergies or anything else, please make sure to have some on hand with the school nurse. We are sneezing, coughing, and other unpleasant things that make our learning environment less than optimal.*
On that note, here are other important dates:
Monday, 3/6 -- Soccer tryouts (see yellow papers for more information)
Tuesday, 3/7 -- Canada Map Test (Social Studies)
Friday, 3/10 -- Social Studies Test - Chapter 5 Sections 2 & 3 (Geography and Government)
Monday, 3/13 -- Spring Picture Day (Class Pictures can be purchased for $10)
Wednesday, 3/15 -- Last day to order Field Day tee shirts ($10)
Friday, 3/17 - Friday 3/24 -- SPRING BREAK
**VERY IMPORTANT**
We will begin our second novel study after Spring Break on The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Please have a copy for your child either bought or downloaded by March 27. I will have a few copies that students can use in class but, as we did with Hatchet, we'll be writing notes in them, so it is very beneficial for each child to have their own copy. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
Our Week:
Monday, 3/6:
Vocabulary - Unit 3 Words Introduction (Students will receive a copy of this week's work plan with the words on the back of the sheet)
Language/Writing - Students will write a paragraph about a given topic with 10 purposeful errors to allow proofreading practice
Reading - Mini-lesson: Theme. Students will learn how to identify the theme of a story.
Social Studies - Continue study of Canada's Geography
Extra Work/Projects - Various
Google Classroom - Check for assignments
I'm trying a new format for the kids this week that I am going to try to attach to this blog so it will be easier for all of us. If that doesn't work, I'll update the blog tomorrow afternoon (Monday) for the rest of the week.
Happy March-ing into Spring (as the pollen is reminding us!)
Ms. Susan
