HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE WEEK OF 10/8/07 - 10/12/07
SPELLING
Lesson 6 – Plurals with “es”
ENGLISH
Capitalization and punctuation is the topic for our new unit in English. This week we will focus on proper nouns & adjectives, commas in a series, and writing sentences with commas. Ask your child what happened when punctuation took a vacation!
READING
We will continue our study of the novel, The Kid in the Red Jacket. This unit focuses on the reading comprehension strategy of summarizing. We are also building our vocabulary by studying words in context.
“Bite into a Good Book” Program
I have met with students who wished to adjust their reading goal for the trimester. Many students have already given book talks, and we are all enjoying learning about new books.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will begin a brochure project that focuses on the study of the 13 original colonies. Students will receive a project information packet on Tuesday, and will be given three full class periods to work on the assignment. It will be due on Monday, 10/15. The Chapter 5 test is tentatively scheduled for 10/17.
SCIENCE
The QUIZ on activities 1-3 will be on Wednesday, 10/10. Students were given a study guide that lists topics that will be covered on the quiz.

MATH - Mrs. Bell's Class
We will be starting Chapter 3, Decimals, this week. Lessons 1, 2, & 3 cover comparing & ordering decimals, estimating decimals and addition and subtraction of decimals. This should be review for most of the students.
FYI
● Many of our students have volunteered to be helpers in the Multi-Needs Classroom at PV. Students who are involved will interact with the children once a month during their recess time.
● Just a reminder…if your child forgets a textbook or workbook at school, copies are available at our local libraries.
