Report Card Day


Students received their report cards today. An overall great effort is being rewarded! In addition to the report card, look for a fluency letter, parent/teacher conference information, classroom newsletter, and other important documents. The report card can be kept, but the envelope needs to be signed and returned.

In Language Arts, we thought more deeply about the characters and events in The Telephone Call. The main characters were all dealing with grief in different ways. John, for instance was objective and knew all the right things to say and do, while Vicky was empathetic and felt helpless to act or speak. Each character was hurting, and their actions and conversations they had with each other in the story helped us to know them better. On Friday, we will conclude our review of the story.

Tomorrow is the kick-off to our new novel, Number the Stars. Our group will join with Mrs. Rader's group to build some background knowledge, hear Mrs. Rader and Mrs. Mac read the first two chapters, and receive our reading and roles in our new groups.

On Friday, Social Studies books will be exchanged. We are moving on to Latin America.

Homework:
Reading - Quizzes on Friday. Review your vocabulary and story.
Math - A Weighty Decision
Science - Quiz on Friday.
Spelling - Quiz on Friday. Study your words.
SHARE YOUR REPORT CARD WITH YOUR PARENTS/GUARDIANS. RETURN THE SIGNED ENVELOPE AND CONFERENCE FORM.
