Very Productive!

Dear Parents and Students,

What a busy, but productive, week.  Students showed what they are capable of in the tests and assignments of this week.  I am very impressed! 

Curriculum progress for week 5:

Math:  We are busy with addition (Chapter 4).

Science:  We finished the first chapter in Unit A.  We looked closely at leaves and stems through magnifying glasses.

English:  We completed Unit 2 and know a lot about nouns now.

Reading:  We are busy with our fourth story. 

Tests:

Next week we are going to write a Science, a Math and an English test. 

The Science test will be on Monday, October 4th.  Students will get tested on Chapter 1, Parts of Plants.

The Math will be written on Tuesday, October 5th.  Students need to study Chapter 3, Money, for the Math test.

The English Test will take place on Thursday, October 7th.  For the English test students need to study Unit 2, Nouns.

Oral Presentation:

The next presentation is scheduled for Friday, October 15th.  The title of this presentation will be “Show us how you …".  Students should focus on giving the class clear directions on how to make something or how to do something.   It could be how to make a sandwich, how to make something artistic, how to make a card, how to play a game, etc.  Presentations can include cue cards that students can refer to if they forget their directions.  Please remember that students should not be reading their directions directly from their cue cards.       When choosing a topic, students should keep in mind that they need to demonstrate the actions as they give directions.   Props are therefore a necessity.  Students should also remember to speak clearly and audibly.

Our Student of the Week is Hiromu Matsuyama.  He is a very friendly student who is performing very well in all areas of school.  He also got very good test results.  Congratulations, Hiromu!

Enjoy the weekend!  And don’t forget to study!
