Mrs. Caliendo's Chronicles

October 11, 2019

Social Science  In our Downers Grove unit, we will continue reading about Pierce Downer and the Potawatomi Indians.

Spelling  New spelling words will go home on Tuesday. Students are being asked to choose 3 activities, one from each column, on the Spelling Homework Menu. This will help them master their spelling words. If students are using their time wisely during centers, they should have plenty of time to complete this in school. Please check in with them. All 3 activities should be stapled to the Spelling Homework Menu. It should be turned in by Friday, October 25, which is the day of the test.

English Language Arts  The focus will be on comparing/contrasting themes, setting and plot from books in a series by reading MORTY THE MEANIE and MORTY and the TWICE FIT MICE.

Please keep track of your child’s reading (20 minutes, 20 days) and record it on the October log.

Mrs. Caliendo's Math Class We will skip Unit 2 for now, and move to Unit 3, Multi-digit Addition and Subtraction. Please continue to practice addition and subtraction facts at home.

If your child should forget their Student Book or their Home Connections workbook at school, they can go into my google math classroom from a home computer and print the page they will need to complete for homework.
