Week Of 9/8 to 9/12

Simonds Climbs Kearsarge is this FRIDAY! We hope to see you all hiking the mountain with us! 


Our first full week of the year is here!
Science: This week students will be picking three elements from the periodic table to become experts on. We will then be creating our own Periodic Table of the Elements for display in the hallway.

Social Studies: Students will continue to delve deeper into the Articles of Confederation and The Constitution.

Math: We are still working on place value up to the thousandths, and will begin to look at comparing and ordering decimals. We know that math is a stressful subject for students, and are trying to help ease the tension. If your student is having a lot of difficulty on the homework, please just send us an email or a note about it. We will work through the trouble problems together. Homework is not meant to be an overly stressful time!

Reading: Students continue to work on making connections to reading, as well as, looking at important text features of Non-Fiction text.

Writing: Students will be digging deep into their writing, and working on adding details, and grabber starting sentences.

Spelling: Students had their first spelling test today! If your student gets three 100's in a row, they move up to the next spelling group. They also have to get higher than a 70 to remain in the spelling group they are in. Students' were given a preliminary spelling test to find where they should be.
