After the crazy schedule changes last week, we are looking at another interesting week this week! Monday is a regular schedule day, but Tuesday is our Thanksgiving dinner with family. If your student has someone coming to eat with them, please make sure to return the form so we know how many to plan for! Tuesday is also our last day of school this week, as we have Wednesday-Friday off for Thanksgiving break. Enjoy the delicious food and extra time with your loved ones!
We finished our second Classcraft challenge last week! The top 10 XP earners out of the entire grade earned a pizza party today! Ask your student what level they are on, what incentives they have already learned, and how they are doing continuing to earn XP! In math this week, we are continuing to work on the concept of division, how fractions are really just division problems, and where the standard algorithm for division comes from. We have begun to draw diagrams to represent fraction division problems and how we get a whole number for an answer when we divide two fractions. Students have 6.1.3 Review Preview Part 2 for homework today (Monday) as our only math assignment this week. In social studies, we are working on ancient Greece! Last week, we looked at the geography of ancient Greece and how geography influenced the settlement and way of life in ancient Greece. This week, we are focusing on the rise of democracy! We will be using our social studies notebooks and TCI Lesson 26 this week. We are not starting new spelling lists this week, but will start new lists after Thanksgiving break. Instead, we are going to do some circles and make sure we are all caught up in social studies. Upcoming dates:
Have a blessed and thankful week! Ms. Kennell
