Updates 10/24

Social Studies Invention flip books are due tomorrow!  We will review chapters 3 and 4 on Monday.  Test 3/4 combined is Tuesday.  We had a great conversation today about immigrants, Ellis Island and Angel Island.  Please talk to your child about their family tree and if any of their ancestors can be traced back to Ellis or Angel Island.  They are fascinated by all of this! 

Most students are done with their Halloween/Fall Narrative.  They will be typing them tomorrow.  Ask your child to tell you about their story.  Next week we will be having a formal writing assessment that will be scored by UGA.  We are not sure the date, but will let you know.  Their writing is really improving! 

There will be a test on Parts of Speech on Wednesday, October 30.  

I will not be here tomorrow, so Choice Cards will not be coming home. Friday Folders will be handed out, but choice cards will go home on Monday.  Thank you for your understanding.
