Let's Get Some Runs!

We are "heading to home plate" with our Sammy Sosa biography and preparing for our test, which will be on Friday.  We have been reviewing by playing some "baseball" using review questions and packet questions. 

Last week, we put the finishing touches on our essays about things in our life that make us so excited.  I know the kids are looking forward to get them home and let you read them.  It was very interesting to see all the different things that "light" us up. 

On Friday afternoon, we will have time in the classroom for board games.  Your child is free to bring in any game that can be played by multiple players and is NOT ELECTRONIC.  I look forward to sitting with the kids and playing, while listening to some music and just relaxing after a busy week. 

Here are some things that will keep us busy this week:

Math - my class will test on the final part of Unit 3 on Wednesday.  A study guide came home today and we will go over that and review tomorrow.

Word Work - test Thursday and work due Thursday

Social Studies - we will finish up with chapter 6 this week.  Today's work is to finish the green poster with visual representations and descriptions of each of the following parts of colonial life:

• cities
• plantations
• farms
• towns

Tomorrow night is Skate Night at Aurora Skate.  While I LOVE to roller skate,  I am still on the fence about this as I had an event already scheduled for tomorrow night!  It's a busy time of year!

Finally, progress reports went home today and those should be signed and returned by Thursday.
Thanks so much!
Happy Holidays!!
