Fall Fun!!

Tomorrow morning, we will complete our spelling test and our "Roberto Clemente" test in the morning.  The reading will be a verbal test with a couple of extended response questions.  I have decided the kids can use the book for the extended response questions. 

During our writing time, we'll do some Halloween writing for fun. We've been so busy with our memoirs.  There will even be pictures to color!!

We took our Social Studies test today and the multiple choice section was immediately graded.  It came home for corrections, where the students can earn some percentage points for looking for the correct answer and filling in the sheet that came home.  Overall, the class did very well and I didn't see a lot of kids looking in their packets or on their outlines (notes were allowed on this test).  I have now graded the skills section (written responses) and tomorrow you will get your final grade for the test, with test correction points and extra credit for using complete sentences on the skills section.  Remember, this is our first social studies test.  We have many ahead and so many interesting people, places, and events from history to learn about.  We will learn many strategies for how to understand this material. 

Finally, tomorrow is our Fall Party.  Kids may bring costumes to wear, as long as there are no scary masks, fake blood or heavy makeup, or weapons of any kind.  Also, no candy or treats can be passed out, so keep those at home for your trick-or-treaters next week.

Don't forget to complete your work work for tomorrow.  I checked Spelling City and the lists are now up there (don't know why they didn't load on Monday).  I also put the lists up for the next few weeks so you can check them out...you know, if you're looking for something to do!!

BOO!
