Dear Parents,
This week we will be finishing Mr. Popper’s Penguins. We will spend some time talking about the book and reviewing for a reading comprehension test next week. A study guide will be sent home some time this week, but if you want to begin helping your child prepare for the test ask them to tell you the story or to tell you about the different characters. Our next book is The Magician’s Nephew, by C.S. Lewis. We will be starting that next week. I have recently found a copy of the story on cassette, and if I can find a boom box with a working tape deck, I would like to listen to a chapter a week in class. This would leave only one chapter a week to be read at home.
We will be taking a break from our history and science books this week to work on a special Lewis and Clark Unit. Together we are making an ABC book of Lewis and Clark’s Expedition. Each letter relates to an aspect of the journey. Every student has three letters that they need to write about and draw pictures for. Ask your student what their letters are and how the project is going. We will also be working on our science project written reports, but please remember that the posters need to be done at home. They are due next week on Thursday, November 13.
The students have been assigned their poem for November. Please help remind them to be reviewing and memorizing their poem every day.
