Week 6 - End of 1st quarter is almost here!

Tuck Everlasting-Quizzes

   We finished Chapter 8 on Thursday, and will read through Chapter 11 in Week 7.  We will have a vocabulary quiz on Monday. Don't forget to have your child study, they should have been studying all week. We will learn ten new words after quiz on Monday and have one final vocab quiz on Tuck Everlasting next Monday, October 6th.

Personal Narrative

   We have been working hard this week on our personal narratives, we will wrap these up on Monday. Students will work on revising, editing, printing, and illustrating a picture for these narratives. Students will also have a chance to share their stories in class this week during authors chair. If your child chooses not to share, they do not have too. I can't wait to read all of their stories. :)

Game of Life

   We played the Game of Life this week. I will send the games home with your child this week. It took us a little longer to finish because we added up everyone's scores so that we knew who our winners were. We had three categories, a tribe(table) winner, highest winner at each table, and an overall class winner.  The students had fun with this. :) Here are some pictures from our game.

End of Quarter Auction

   We will be having an end of the quarter auction in week 9. This is a fun incentive for your child because this is where they finally get to spend their Mac Bucks that they have been earning. They earn Mac Bucks for many different things such as good behavior, working hard, academics, going above and beyond, etc.  I am asking parents to please bring in any items that they think the class would enjoy bidding on.  These items don't have to be big, they can be small items, such as toys, candy, school supplies, homemade items, food, drinks such as Gatorade, or anything you know your child enjoys.:)

I think that wraps up week 6, I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
