Book Report

Today I sent home Song of the Brook  for our first book report book! 

I would like the students to read one chapter each weeknight evening, except Wednesdays, and one chapter over the weekend.  The book has 9 chapters, so they can complete the book by Monday, November 14.  This gives them 2 full weeks to complete the book, so if you are busy one night, that leaves a few extra days to pick up the chapter they may have missed.  

**We may not write it on their homework list each night, but they are expected to finish by the 14th.**

No special material is needed, and we will complete the written book report here at school.  Only the reading needs to be done at home.  

Thanks! 

Mrs. Trescott 

 

 Happy Friday!  Calendar fundraiser is due Monday!  :)  

Weekend homework update:  

There is no science homework. 

How to study for Monday's History Test

Use pages 143-145 in the text book.  We have completed each section, and the test questions are directly from those pages.  The test has no maps and is only over chapter 6.  

Any written work done History and Science serves as study material.  

Oct. 31-Nov. 4th 

Friday, November 4th we will not have school.  I will have an IXL assignment and some reading for them to do.  Please check out www.ixl.com/signin between now and then to be familiar with it if you have not already done so.  In your child's take-home folder, I have stapled their sign-in info.

" Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing."

Please remember all students need a King James Bible in school every day.  

Have a Blessed Monday!

Congratulations to our Literature Fair students advancing to the County Fair!  Everyone did a great job!

 Literature Fair Guidelines

Over the weekend, October 7-10, I would like the class to study over their History and Science Study Guides.  THEY ARE NOT COMPLETE.  WE WILL COMPLETE THEM TUESDAY.  You can ask them questions over it, or even just let them read over it a few times.  It's a long weekend, I don't want them to forget all they learned this week.  Thanks!
