Dear Families,

I hope everyone had a restful vacation.  We are very excited to be back!  Students will present their poems in class next Wednesday and Thursday.  Please make sure that your child is practicing at home.

Next Monday is our field trip   to the Oxnard Performing Arts Center to see “Ellis Island, Coming to America”.  Permission slips will be going home today.  The money was already collected by our room moms at the beginning of the year.

This Friday is a noon dismissal.

Below is an overview for our week:

Voc: Unit 13.

Spelling: Unit 24.  Our test will be this Thursday.

Math: The focus this week is to divide by a decimal.

Social Studies: Chapter 7.  We will focus on how groups in the British colonies worked to make a change in their government.

Science:  Chapter 9. We will be discussing how two or more elements can combine to form a compound.

Religion: Our focus this week will be to recognize the value of honesty and respect in communication.  We will then focus on all human life being sacred.

English: This week we will be focusing on quotation marks.

Literature: This week we will be reading The House of Dies Drear.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to let me know.

Thank you,

Ms. Carney
