October 3, 2011





Hello Everyone!
Town Meeting was so nice with our beautiful fall weather! We are working schoolwide to ensure that we are all giving "put-ups" instead of "put-downs". Please ask your child about this.
This week is Parent/Teacher Conferences! I look forward to meeting with all of you. If you are unsure of your time, please email me, and I will be happy to confirm our scheduled time.

The vocabulary for the following two weeks is as follows...
Collection Vocabulary:
marveled, ensemble, complicated, swoops, wrangler, bawling, nosing, longed, pesky, rebellion, brocade, tour, towering, summed up, Emancipation Proclamation

Wordly Wise Vocabulary has been put on hold for two weeks so that we can work on the following Science Vocabulary Words:
force, friction, fulcrum, inclined plane, lever, load, machine, axle, power, pull, pulley, push, screw, spring, tool, torque, wedge, wheel, work

Our next math test will be on Tuesday, October 4th. We will spend time in class reviewing on Monday and on Tuesday before the test. Many students still don't know their addition/subtraction facts by heart. This slows them down when working with larger numbers to add/subtract. Practicing with flash cards is a great way to build confidence and speed with the facts.

Wishing you a fabulous week!
