Miss Pellin's Post
November 3rd to November 7th

We had a boo-tiful time at our Halloween Party and Halloween Parade. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make it possible. 

There will not be school on Monday, November 3rd or Tuesday, November 4th.  Please plan accordingly.  

The Eleventh Week of 2014 at School:

Science: We will continue the study of the water cycle in chapter 9, lesson 2.   

Social Studies: We will continue learning about the history of Downers Grove.  Students will learn about the role Pierce Downer and Israel Blodgett played in the underground railroad.  Look for a study guide to come home this week for a history of Downers Grove quiz.  The quiz will be in the week of November 10th.  

Math: Students will continue the study of topic 3.  Students will learn how to find the value of variables.    

Spelling: There will not be spelling this week.

Reading:  This week will focus on small group learning.  All students will be working with The One and Only Ivan, but as we learn new skills and strategies, students will be engaged with their own text.  One area of focus will be finding character traits along with evidence to support the character traits.  

English:  We will begin the study of nouns in unit 2.  Students will learn about common and proper nouns.  




Things to Remember:
Monday 11/3:  There will not be school due to Parent/Teacher conferences.
Tuesday 11/4: There will not be school due to a Teacher Institute Day.
