1. Skating form- due ASAP- we will go with Mrs. Cavani's class Dec. 12, 10:30 to 11:30. WE need drivers at 9:50. We also need parents to skate with kids. Please fill out form and indicate if you can help. I'll post drivers after I figure it out. There is no cost but we may have hot chocolate and snacks when we return to the school; I may ask for a $1.00 donation so that we can add more to our Christmas hamper.
2. Math- more difficult multiplication- test Tuesday. This is the second test on this concept. Usually I give 3 in each area.
3. Poetry Collections- we just finished our last type of poem and now we will string all poems together on Tuesday.
4. Mystery House- read entire novel by Monday. Kids have been given lots of class time and hopefully have used time at home as well.
Have a great weekend. Maybe see some of you up at the ski hill. Look for the worst snowboarder and you will have found Mrs. Abraham!

2. I wonder worksheet- due Tuesday.
3. Math test on difficult multiplication-study for Wednesday.
4. Read Mystery House in full by Monday if possible.
5. We checked off a list today to see if we were up to date on all of our poems. Some students discovered they had misplaced them or not completed them. I have tried to check each type of poem as they are written, typed and colored. However, some students (7) will still need to work to get all of their Poetry up to date. The rest can feel relief that they are done, except our last poem that we will be learning Thursday.

1. Spelling- Math words this week- study from agenda for testFriday.
2. Friday- Special day is some students will show their talent- could be piano, dance, guitar, karate moves, comedy, magic, baking, making, etc.. Students do NOT have to share on this Friday.
3. Hot dog orders due Tuesday.
4. Math test on Wednesday- Grade 4s will do single digit times double or triple digit. Grade 5s will do that as well as double digit times double digit. I notice many of the kids cannot instantly answer a basic multiplication question. Please take the time to ask them 10 questions so you can see how quickly they are answering. If they are slow, you will know that they are probably having a harder time with the more difficult questions now. Tables on desks will start to be covered soon!
5. Mystery House- read to page 110 by Wednesday if possible.

1. Paragraph on Friendship due Friday. Students have had since Monday to bring home and try to get an adult to help edit for basic spelling, punct., etc.. Also, students are supposed to be correcting mistakes on previous paragraphs, so that they do not make the same mistakes. (for example, do not spell In addition...inadishun in 4 different paragraphs)
2. Spelling quiz- Friday
3. Science unit test- I told the students this will be the hardest test of the year so far. I gave them over an hour of class time to make cue cards and study. I also read the questions of the test aloud in class today. It is not just a test of Science knowledge; it is a test of working hard to study.
4. Special Friday- movie with theme of being yourself/trying your best. Kids are allowed to bring POPPED popcorn, snacks or leftover Halloween candy(not too much please, or share).

1. If you get a chance, have look at and help edit basic errors on paragraph due Friday...Friendships.

2. Science Test- this Friday. Should be bringing duotangs home to study the Digestive and Nervous System. I will help then also study at school with long cue cards.
3. Mystery House- should be on aprox. page 80.
4. Spelling test- Friday.

3. Scolastic orders- due fridays.
4. Mystery House bookmark- due Wednesday.
5. Spelling Unit 6 words- due Wednesday and study for test Friday.
