Again a heads up on report cards. I will not be sending home formal report cards like you are used to. Reporting will take the form of an e-mail (or letter for those of you who don't use e-mail) letting you know about your child's progress. They will come home some time before we get into the Christmas season but not all at the same time. Please contact me anytime if you have any concerns.
In math this week we are continuing to look at place value. The grade 6s need to know numbers over a million and the grade 5s need to know up to a million. In L.A., we are working away at our novel (Moses Me and Murder) and continuing to work on our writing programs (Write Traits and Communication Skills). In Science we have our last experiment for Natural Resources (a grade 5 unit). Next week we move on to Electricity (a grade 6 unit). In HACE we are wrapping up decision making, looking at some goal setting (short term and long term) before moving on to an anti tobacco unit. We finally finished our dance unit in gym today and the kids did a fantastic job of doing Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' dance. Next week we start volleyball.
