What We're Learning this Week - 10/17

This week is Parent-Teacher Conference week. I wanted to give you a few reminders and information to help our conferences run as smoothly as possible.

• This week, we will dismiss 2 hours earlier then usual. Please make arrangements to make sure that your child is picked up as needed

• Each conference is 20 minutes long. We have back- to-back conferences everyday, and will not be able to go over our allotted time. Please arrive on time, so that we can have the full 20 minute session.

• Students are encouraged to attend the conference, but they do not have to.

• If you are unsure of your conference time, please contact me.

I look forward to meeting with each of you this week, to discuss your child's progress this past 9 weeks.

Math - Students will work on Multiplicative Comparisons (3 days) with a test on Wednesday 10/19.

Writing - Students will work on learning how to provide Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning to support their thinking in Science.

Spelling - No spelling this week!

Reading- Students will read "Tiger Rising" as a class and focus on the elements of character, setting, and plot that will tie into their narrative writing.

Hello Parents! This week your child is responsible for practicing all their Recorder Karate songs. Orange logs will be sent home this rotation and should be returned in 6 days with a parent signature for each day your child practice. Students will receive $5 in Mungin bucks for each day they practice and a grade of a 100. Anything less than 6 days will result in a lower grade. Students who do not bring their logs to class will receive a Think Sheet and CAN NOT bring in at a later time for credit. Logs are due on time. Thanks for encouraging your child to practice to increase their knowledge of music. Regards, Mrs. Mungin
