Scholastic will be due Wednesday.

Grade 4’s:

Since we are reading Charlotte’s web in class, I want each student to find 5 interesting pig facts and five interesting spider facts and type them out on the computer. We will add those to an information poster in class. Bring them in when you are ready, Monday at the latest J

Grade 5’s:

Since we are reading the Mystery novel Mudshark, I would like each student to look into a real life unsolved mystery that intrigues them. Ex: Is there really a lost city of Atlantis? How were the pyramids built? Etc… Look at the site: http://www.kidsgen.com/unsolved_mysteries  for some other ideas or search Unsolved Mysteries for Kids with your parents. Read through a few of them before deciding what you like and bring in your idea with a few sheets that you copied from the internet. Due Monday October 17, 2011. We will use them, for an in-class project.

Let’s have a great week!

Math Test

Just a little note to my 4/5 split students. I had asked that you bring your Nelson Math Textbook home on the weekend to study for the test Tuesday and I see that there is a reminder note on the board. However, looking in many of the desks I see that some of them are still here. I will give the Prism section of the Math Test Tuesday as planned and give the Nelson section on Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving :)
