SHORT week!

Reading: We will be taking the end of theme test on Monday and Tuesday. It is a long one, and I like to separate it into 2 days so the kids do their best. Also, that leaves me the long break to correct 55 (8 page) papers. Assignments due Monday for reading: reader's response, read 15, and main idea worksheet.

Vocabulary: Dictionary "turkey" worksheet due Monday.

Spelling: retake of Thursday's spelling test for those who didn't do so hot!

Grammar: The kids started a cut and paste activity dealing with plural nouns. They will finish that on Monday, it is NOT due when class begins.

Technology: We spent some time in the lab on Friday working on Home Row keys. There are practice web sites that they can access through the wiki page. They will be assessed in a couple of weeks on typing without peeking on the home row keys. They will also have to write them in on a blank keyboard.

Veteran's collection: Thank you all very much for all of the terrific items that you sent in for our veteran's drive. We collected 2 boxes full of items to send to our soldiers.

Kate Simonson benefit: Please continue to send in sports related items for the Kate Simonson benefit. We don't have much in our basket yet. These items are due on Dec. 1. Also, take note of the order form that came home last week for clothing sales. As part of the benefit for Kate, they are selling Bronco clothing.
