Because of the short week, I will not be sending home a reading, math and spelling log. We will be focusing on grammar using mentor sentences and reviewing previous spelling lists. Please continue to read and practice the flash cards. There will not be a spelling list for the week.
We have a typing challenge next week. The children are required to keep their fingers on the “home row keys.” If you have computer access at home, we have recommended a couple of websites for your child to practice their typing skills on.
It is very important that your child is using the correct fingering when they practice their typing so as not to fall into a bad habit of using the incorrect fingers.
Hudsonville Public Schools has set the following goals in keyboarding for your elementary child:
We will not have the adaptation/classification test until next Thursday, October 23rd. This will give us time to complete some fun experiments, finish our riddles and review. After that test, we will switch with Mrs. Flory’s class for geography.
We have been working on animal adaptations. Please help your child research the mystery animal adaptations. They need to research an animal and determine five adaptations that help it survive so that they will be able to write an animal riddle. We will then type them up and post them for other students to guess. We will be working on this on Wednesday. They will have some time during computers to add to the list. The following website has some great information: http://a-z-animals.com/
Our Halloween Party will be on October 30th from 2:20-3:20. Students can change into their costumes right after recess. We have some amazing volunteers helping out with the party. I will let you know if we need any donations.
If you look close at our skeletons, you will see our cursive names with a line of symmetry.
Our Animal Adaptation and classification test will be on Friday, October 17th, next week. A review sheet went home yesterday. If your child misplaced it, I have included it right here for you to download: vertebrates . I have also included an adaptation video by Study Jams as a review. Please click on the picture below to watch the video and even test yourself in the end. Students, remember to leave a comment about what you learned from the video so that I can give you credit for doing a little extra.
If you would like to play an adaptation game, you can click on the picture below. Let me know if you make it on the leader board.
