October 6-October 10

This week in reading we are discussing the characters and the settings of stories and working on describing them in detail and using the text to help us. Our spelling is Sort 16 with more -ed and -ing ending patterns. Please make sure that your student is doing their 20 points worth of activities and turning them in each week. Also, please make sure they are doing their 20 minutes of reading at least every night, filling out their reading log, and turning it in!

This week in writing we are starting our Haunted House stories. We will be describing each room in a haunted house and what we see in each of the rooms. We also just finished our How To papers. We were able to publish all those that were typed onto our class writing blog so we all can see them. Feel free to go to our class writing blog (http://mrswheatleysclasswriting.blogspot.com) and read your student's paper as well as the rest of the class's papers! If your student did not get a final, hand written copy of this turned in to me for a grade, please help them get it in before the 2 week late deadline.

This week in math we are finishing our multiplication unit and starting our division unit. We will be talking about what to do with remainders and dividing large numbers with remainders.

This week in social studies we are talking about the natural resources we have in Utah. We will also be presenting our County Reports. My class's reports are due on Thursday, October 9th and Miss Goldsborough's class's reports are due on Friday, October 10th.

Please don't forget about Parent Teacher Conferences this week! If you have not signed up for a conference yet, please call the office or email me and we will get one set up. I look forward to chatting with you and your student at our conference!
