Spelling tests are going home today. Please review the test with your student. I have many students not passing their spelling tests week after week. These words need to be practiced every day! Students have a spelling assignment to do Monday – Wednesday. Thursday is left for studying and practicing the words however they would like.

Our  math quiz tomorrow will be on lessons 1 – 5.

Miller will be participating in a Food Drive this month. All donated food will go to families in need. The class with the most cans donated will win a pizza party, ice cream party, and 45 minutes of recess!! We are hoping to be that class. Please donate what you can. It is greatly appreciated. 🙂

We will be boarding the bus to  leave Miller at 9:15 !

We have officially made it through one fourth of the school year!  The first quarter ended last Friday.  This means beginning Monday we start with a clean slate as we enter into the second marking period.  Report cards are completed and you will get those during parent-teacher conferences which begin on Thursday.  Conference reminder notes have been sent home.  If you have not returned it to school indicating if the time is good for you, please do so as soon as possible.  Thank you to those that have returned their slip.

There will be no school on Tuesday due to Election Day.  Remember to get out there and vote!

We will have our field trip to the Lincoln Park roller skating rink on Wednesday.  This is a science field trip where students will learn about the physics and engineering behind roller skates.  They will participate in a hands-on science project prior to skating.  All field trips are required as they are a learning opportunity outside of the classroom.  If there is an issue where you feel your child can’t go, please contact me so we can work something out.  There are still a couple students that have not returned permission slips.  Please make sure those are in as soon as possible.  If your child does not attend the trip, they must still be in school and will be placed in another classroom for the day.

Here is what we will be learning this week:

Math:  There will be a short quiz on Friday about the concepts we have learned last week involving time on a number line and clock.  We will review prior to the quiz.

Science – We are learning how to make observations of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.

Social Studies:  We will focus on how Native Americans used, adapted to, and changed their environment.

Reading:  We will focus on asking and answering questions in literary text.  We are working on answering in complete sentences by restating the question as a statement and citing evidence from the text to explain how we know our answer is correct.

Writing:  We will be introducing informational writing by analyzing how good authors write informational text.  Students will be noticing things authors do such as using text features, diagrams, table of contents, etc.  These will be features that students will be incorporating into their own writing once we choose topics in the weeks to come.
