I hope you enjoyed the long weekend!  Here's what we are up to this week!

-In Math we are learning about moving geometry (turns, flips, and rotations).  I sent home a family newsletter that has vocabulary help for this chapter.
-In Reading we are continuing to build our reading stamina and writing about what we are reading.  Students should be bringing home "just right" books to read each night.
-In Social Studies students have a quiz tomorrow on landforms, they should have their geographic picture dictionaries at home to study from.  This week we are learning about longitude and latitude and more about using maps.
-In Writing, students are beginning to write in their writer's notebooks.  Their homework assignment this week is to decorate their notebooks to their liking.

*Please be sure you are checking your child's take home folder for notes and assignments.
*Be sure to initial your child's assignment notebook each night.
*Friday folders will be sent home this Friday be sure to read teacher comments and sign the back of them.
*I will be entering grades in SIS grade book throughout the week so my goal is that by Friday everything so far will be in there.

Have a great week!
