Even though I have been teaching for many years, I am always stunned at this time of the year when I think about the semester ending and how quickly it has gone by. The second quarter will end on December 22. Reports cards will be sent home after the holidays. I want you to know how much I am enjoying this class. They are well-behaved and hard workers. I can't ask for more. I give you all of the credit for setting high expectations for your child. I could not ask for better partners!

We will begin Checkpoint Testing next week in Reading, Math, and Language Arts. We utilize these assessments to guide instruction for the next quarter.
Curriculum Connections:
Reading: Since we have studied Susan B. Anthony, Paul Revere, and Frederick Douglass this quarter, we will extend the biography genre by reading about other famous figures who have impacted our history.
I applaud you for supporting the reading goals at home...9 points for this quarter.
Math: Multiplication practice will continue, but we will also focus on geometric concepts to include polygons and angles. I guess you've heard that we won the First in Math trophy for the month!!! Woohoo!!!
Science and Writing: We will begin a study of soil, erosion, and weathering. Our writing is connected via the "soil critter" diaries, one of my favorite writing projects during the year.
Have a wonderful week!!!
