Miss Pellin's Post

September 29th - October 3rd

My science class is working on making a full-sized model of the human body and all its systems. This work takes lots of "organ"izing. I was pleased with the results of my math class' Chapter 2 test. My language class did an excellent job writing a narrative about themselves.

Tuesday, September 30th my homeroom class will be having a "Goo, Glob, and Guts" presentation. Things may get sticky! This presentation goes well with our current science topic of the human body.

The Sixth Week of 2008 at School:

Home Room
Science: We will finish study of the respiratory and digestive system. Look for a test next Tuesday, October 7th. They will receive a study on Monday and they will be due on Thursday, October 2nd.

Social Studies: We will begin a new unit on Downers Grove. Students will learn about our town's location and history. This is an opportunity for students to relate to their studies. Walking around town and visiting the historic sites would be a fun thing to do on the week end!

Language Arts

Spelling: There will be a Spelling “list 5” will be handed out on Monday, September 29th. Students will study these words at school and should study them at home as well. It is very important to practice these words with your child because there is limited class time for practicing words. There will be a test on “list 5” on Friday, October 3rd.

Reading: The Mulan vocabulary quiz will be on Tuesday, September 30th. You can find the vocabulary words in their reading folder in their binder. It is a yellow sheet and we drew a picture of each word. We will also begin preparations for the ISAT test with study of predictions and of the parts of words (prefix/suffix).

English: Students will present their "Me" bag on Monday, September 29th and Tuesday, September 30th. Students will need to use eye contact and have good volume during their presentation! We will practice presenting in class.

Math: We will complete our Chapter 3 study which deals with estimating and addition of large numbers. There will be a test on Chapter 3 on Friday, October 3rd.
