New Unit - Scientific Method!

Today, we started a brand new unit. After a few units in social studies, we are now switching over to Science! Our first science unit will be on the Scientific Method. I've posted vocabulary words and scientific method steps under our Science Vocabulary page. Please visit that page to check them out! Students came home today with vocab cards we made in class. Once we understand the process, we'll be ready to dive into some awesome experiments! :-) 

Reminder

We have moved the Ancient Greece test to Wednesday (instead of Tuesday). Please use your book, study guide, vocabulary cards and Greece packet to study for the test. Study guides will be due on Wednesday. 

Remember we have our Addition & Subtraction Unit Test on Friday. 

As usual, there will be a Spelling test on Friday. Our words for this week are posted under Spelling Lists. There will also be a Reading Test this week on Friday on our nonfiction story, Summer Olympics Legends!

Homework this week:

Literacy Packet due Friday (Oct. 2)!
Math Packet due Friday (Oct. 2)!

Nightly spelling homework is due each day (pick from your choice menu). 

We don't have a reading story this week, we are simply working on skills such as character traits, sequencing and synonyms and antonyms. 

There will still be a test on Friday. It will be skill-based rather than story-based.
