December is almost here!
Wow! The month of November flew by quickly! Thank you to everyone who returned their report card envelopes and their monthly reports. Thank you to everyone who participated in the school’s fundraisers this year, you help make our school a better place! 🙂
We are currently working on our short stories. We have learned about: foreshadowing, flashbacks, irony, Â and suspense and how they add to the story. We also read several short stories to learn how to create an introduction, rising action, a climax or pivotal moment and a resolution. I look forward to reading your short stories over the holidays!
We have begun our 5th unit in Mathematics, measurement. Practice measuring and estimating the circumference of circles, surface areas of objects and start thinking about how you will build your “mansion” with your “millions” of dollars for your measurement project.
For music, we will be performing “Carol of the Bells” with the Boomwhackers in blacklight for the school Christmas concert on December 17th. Hope to see you there!
REMINDER: MONDAY IS PYJAMA DAY!

November News
Progress Reports went home on Friday. Please read your child’s report card with them and discuss their strengths with them. I am very proud of all they have accomplished in such a short period of time.
We have a history test coming up on Thursday, your child was sent home with a study sheet to prepare for the quiz.
On Monday, Sigmund Brouwer will be visiting our school. We are very excited to hear about his novels as we will be reading some of them in our novel study groups shortly. In math, we have begun patterning and algebra. Your child has a password to get online with GIZMO’s (the link is on our blog), to practice their skills.
