Curriculum Tidbits:
- We've worked to establish "seed ideas" for our memoirs and will begin to plan out our chosen "seed story" (memoir) next week.
- In Bible we will learn about Nicodemus, being born again, and the Samaritan woman.
- In Math we've added and subtracted mixed numbers with common denominators. This coming week we'll try the same, but with uncommon denominators!
- We continue to use Wonder as our read aloud and mentor text in reading as we focus on characters.
Other Tidbits:
- Fifth grade plans to do our walk-a-thon on Monday afternoon (9/21). Be prepared with appropriate clothing and shoes for walking outside.
- Psalm 8 is due by the end of the month. Students may choose to say it to me alone or with a friend, OR they may choose to do a fill-in-the blank.
- Reading minutes are due on Monday.
- New spelling words will be sent home Monday, with a test on Friday (9/25).
- I will be out of the classroom this coming Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Mrs. Iverson has graciously agreed to be the substitute. She has already subbed in our class for a few hours earlier this year, so she will be a familiar face, and will offer the class a feeling of consistency for those three days.
