Week of September 22-26

This week should be a lot calmer than last week! Today is the first Kearsarge Math League Meet at Simonds School!

Writing: We will be finishing up our Constitution Essays this week. Students will be looking deeper into their writing, focusing on complete sentences, and proper capitalization and punctuation.

Science: We will be starting experiments on acids and bases, as well as, physical and chemical changes. These activities should be fun!

Social Studies: We are hoping to finish up the writing of the Constitution and begin exploring the three branches of government.

Math: We have completed our first math topic! We are now starting in on adding and subtracting decimals. This week we will focus on rounding and estimating to add and subtract.

Reading: We are continuing to work on non-fiction texts. We are also beginning to have debates about what we are reading. Students are required to pick a side and tell why. Some students will be picking a side they are not truly for, and having to stand up for it.

Spelling: Many students have not been completing their spelling homework. Remember three 100's in a row moves you up to the next level!

Reminders about this week:
Friday we will be having the puberty talk. Boys will go with Mr.Shepherd and Mr.Vozzolo, and girls will be with Mrs.Richardson and Ms. Connor. Please do not hesitate to contact any of us if you have any questions.

Please be sure to pass in your child's vaccination permission slip if you would like to participate in the flu shot here at school.
