Week of November 19-20

Families of 4C,

We have quite the short week ahead! Due to the holiday, there will be school on Monday and Tuesday and this short break will be an R&R weekend!

On Tuesday, we will be having a short celebration with a focus on table manners and gratitude following lunch, from 12:40-1:50. If you plan on attending, please send Mrs. LaVell and myself an email letting us know. Thanks!

In an effort to provide a fruitful homework experience for our scholars, we rely on the feedback of our families. Parents, please share your feedback by completing this
homework survey at your earliest convenience.

Grade reports will not be sent this week due to there only being two days of school in week 6. Grade reports will be sent out again in week 7 after more assignments are entered.

This Week:

Math: On Monday, students will be taking their test on mixed numbers and improper fractions. Students can use Unit 3 review to prepare for the test. On Tuesday, they will be taking their weekly review quiz.

Grammar/Writing: We will be continuing our writers’ workshop on water waste this week.

Spalding: There will be no Spalding due to the short week. Spalding will resume following the short holiday break.

Science: We will continue working through our fourth science unit, Meteorology!

History: On Monday, students will be reviewing chapters 17-21 for the unit test on Tuesday. Students should use the study guide and class notes to help them prepare for the short-answer style test.

Literature: Students will study setting and characterization as we continue our reading through Robin Hood.

Greek and Latin Roots: With the short week, roots will be on Tuesday this week instead of Wednesday. Students should use the multiple choice review and their roots cards to help them prepare for the multiple choice quiz on Tuesday. The roots review packet is to serve as an additional study resource, and is due on Tuesday.

Poetry: Poetry recitations on “The Sin of Omission” by Margaret E. Sangster will be the Monday following Thanksgiving break, November 26.


I hope you all have a joyful extra-long weekend spending time with family. Give thanks!

--Mrs. Conforti
