In science, (PM class only) there will be a science test this Wednesday, Nov. 2nd on the circulatory system, nervous system and skeletal system. Use the review as a study guide. Good luck!

We are beginning our first novel study. The book Loser, by Jerry Spinelli, is a wonderful story about a boy making his way through grade school and he finds out what he he is really good at is being a good person. Here is the e-book if your child needs to get caught up on work.

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend! A few important dates coming up:

• Tomorrow we are having a short quiz on what we have covered in number patterns so far (decreasing, increasing and alternating)
• Tues., Oct. 18th we will be having the Patterning Unit test (number patterns, Input/Output machines, geometric patterns and word problems)
• A review for the test will be going home this Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to take this time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! May God bless you and your family.
