Social Studies- Students did a WONDERFUL job on their Native American projects! Wow! I was so impressed by the presentations. Your children are fantastic public speakers and great listeners. This week we are starting Chapter 3: Age of Exploration.

Reading- We are focusing on the reading strategy inferencing this week. We will be taking the October eValuate test this week (the new Tungsten). 

Writing- This week we are editing our drafts and working on publishing our writing pieces! Our focus in editing is spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. 

Field Trip- We are excited to go to Cahokia on October 16th for our 1st field trip. If you are interested in coming along as a chaperon please email me. If you have not turned in your permission slips, please turn them in this week! (I will email these parents this week as well.)

Enjoy your week- Go Cards!!!
