Halloween

Tomorrow we will be having a fun Halloween afternoon. Nothing fancy but we will be playing some games. Students are welcomed to bring a treat for each student but please remember to make sure it is nut-free. 

There will also be a quiz on nutrition in Science on Monday. Students should use a copy of the food guide, nutrition notes and old assignments to review for it. There will be some matching and short answers. 

 We have just started our Social Studies dioramas so they will have 3 double classes to work on it next week (that is over 6 hours of class time!) Students are welcome to bring their own supplies in. 

For Math homework students must count and sort their Halloween candy they collect. This should be done on a tally sheet. Instructions will be given on Friday. They wil use this data to complete some graphing activity. 

Another reminder is picture money was due today (you can do it online too). Also a new book order went out and they are due November 6. This is a great opportunity to get your kid excited about reading. I remember getting to pick out one book in every order and was excited when it arrived.  (Yes they were around back then but the books were only $1.25 each.) 

Sorry for the delay but our formal spelling program will start next week and I will be trying to do a Monday to Friday system. I will also be sending home Boston pizza reading sheets for any student wanting to do complete home reading. I do not use a home reading program in grade 5 but if a student needs extra support then a program will be set up. 

Have a great Halloween and check back for photos on the weekend.
