You Know You're Ready for Thanksgiving When...

The WSTAR Crew claims it's a "Mashed Potato Monday!" Whew...we can almost smell the turkey cooking!

LA: No story this week! We are playing catch up and review this week with some of those skills that perhaps have sn us by not mastered! Today we learned about 4 new roots in Vocabulary Vine as well as practiced our following directions skills with a fun snowman activity. We squeezed in time for read aloud before computer lab, where we did a very exciting Thanksgiving scavenger hunt. After computer lab, we started to enjoy the video that goes along with our novel we are sharing together.

HW: Thanksgiving scavenger hunts are due on Wednesday. Signed weekly tests are due back tomorrow!

Math: We were excellent estimators today! We talked about reasons to estimate and even decided which is better to do, find exact amounts or estimate in several instances. We also did a beaver activity where we had to figure out how many beavers were in a certain amount of lodges in New York! In addition to estimating today, we played catch up with math boxes from this unit!

HW: Math boxes from unit 5 are due on Wednesday. Unit 5 test will be given on Wednesday.

Health: Today was a great day to review dental health by doing a worksheet. We also reviewed hearing and eyesight from the beginning of the year!

HW: Chapter 3, lesson 3 lesson check up is due tomorrow. Chapter 3 test will be given next Tuesday.

Don't forget:
  • Tomorrow night is the ND women's basketball game! It's PHM night and the school that has the most people in attendance gets a $300 reward! We won last year and were able to put this money towards enrichment activities for our students! Come support the Notre Dame Women's Basketball Team and have a fun family night out!
  • Mini Mall is going to be here before you know it! Get those business proposals turned in as soon as possible!
