Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed the break last week and is ready to jump back into our work this week. Before I go through our week, there are a few reminders. Band/Strings permission slips need to returned ASAP as the students will be starting on Friday. Nowlin T-Shirt order forms also went home last week. If you are interested in ordering any shirts or sweatshirts, these forms must be turned into me by Wed. at the latest. Keep an eye out for lots of updates on school events happening in October.

Now onto our week:

Math: Students are working on exponents and factor strings. We will be finishing that up mid week and starting on decimal addition and subtraction.

Reading: Students are working on their second historical fiction book and are pulling out the main features of that genre. This is going to help them as we begin writing historical narratives.

Writing: The Students are working on writing personal narratives. We are becoming more and more familiar with narrative text features and this will lead us into writing historical narratives.

Science: Our force and motion unit continues with the students getting to be hands on and experimenting. We will be using every day objects to see how forces and motion effect objects, as well as working on our interactive science notebooks.

Social Studies-The students are working on maps and will continue this with Mrs. A.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Mr. Hawkins
