What's happening the week of 8/25

In social studies, we will have a map quiz on the 7 continents (North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Antartica) and the 5 oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Southern, Arctic, and Indian).  You will need to know where they are located on a map.  We have been studying it all week, so it shouldn't be too hard.  Later in the week, you will begin studying Native Americans.

In science, you will be creating a fun water cycle project on Monday.  On Thursday, you will test on water and the water cycle.  You will begin studying clouds on Friday.

We will continue Dear Mr. Henshaw.  Our 1st Quiz on the book will be next week.

We will continue working on nouns, pronouns and possesive nouns next week in Language Arts.  We will also finish Unit 1 of Sitton Spelling and test on Thursday.  No challenge words this 1st week...but we will have them after this.

We will begin our guided reading groups next week.  Mrs. Fowler and I have chosen some great books for each group.  We will let you know your groups on Monday.

Question of the week:  Write this in standard form - three hundred twenty-five million, twenty-seven thousand, eight hundred three.  Now, if you increased that number by fifty thousand, what would the new number be?  You must have both answers to get the "prize" money. 

Have a great weekend...see you on Monday!  Don't forget to talk a LOT this weekend, so you won't need to next week!!!!!
