ELA  Students will revisit character traits next week. They will also be writing a narrative about the time they were trapped in a snow globe.

Our grammar focus will continue with plural nouns.

November Reading Logs are due on Monday.

SPELLING  New sorts went home on Tuesday.  Three items on the menu, 1 from each column, are due on Friday, Dec 7th, the day of the test. 

SOCIAL SCIENCE  We will continue our unit on Balancing Forces. We will begin Chapter 2:  Why  does the train rise without anything touching it? Students will discover that some forces can act without objects touching.

MATH  We will continue the unit on multiplication. Students will identify and label types of multiplication facts in a Multiplication Table. There will be a short work sample assessment on Thursday.

We will also be working to master our multiplication facts.  We will begin with the 2's.  A practice sheet will go home on Monday and a fact test will be given on Wednesday. Students are responsible for mastering the multiplication facts up to 12. The quiz will have 26 math problems. It's never too early to start practicing. Flash cards are a great resource!
