Dear Parents,

A special note for this week: We have a half day on Wednesday AND Friday this week. Please plan accordingly.

In Literature we will be discussing conflict/resolution, as well as cause/effect relationships. This is our final week with Pollyanna. An assessment will be given on Friday. Please have a copy of The Wizard of Oz ready for your student come next Monday.

In Math, We will be learning about long division. Please use the "box" method that you are familiar. Students may check their work by multiplying quotient by the divider. Ex. 108 ÷ 9 = 12. Check your work: 9 x 12 = 108.

In History, students will have their first assessment on the Middle Ages on Tuesday. It will cover the first 5 chapters. Each student should have a complete study guide filled out.

In Science, our geology unit will focus on volcanoes. Feel free to ask your students about famous volcanoes in the world, and how they can both positively and negatively effect life on this plant.

Thank you and enjoy your shorten week.
