Parent Teacher Conference forms are being sent home today. Please check your child's folder and return the form to your child's homeroom teacher. Unless otherwise specified, the conference is with your child's Block 2 (homeroom) teacher. If you did not request a conference with me for Block 1, please know that you can call or email at any time and I will give you an update of your child's academic growth. All grades are updated on Web Grader, so you should be able to see your child's report card grades as they currently stand.
Tomorrow is our Unit 12 spelling test. We worked on workbook pages 49-50 in class today to practice our spelling words.
In Grammar, we are working on common/proper nouns (Grammar workbook 37) , as well as reviewing clauses (dependent and independent), phrases, and complex sentences. Your child did receive a handout page with examples of each of these kinds of sentences.
In Social Studies we are learning about our Government, and we read pages 78-83 in our red book. After each section in Social Studies we take a short review quiz with 5 questions. Students are strongly encouraged to use their books to help them find the answers to these quizzes.
We also read a Time for Kids magazine article called "Whale Watching," and we finished our sea turtles informational display board.
