English
The chapter on verbs was finished on Friday. The test is schedule for Thursday, December 6th. A review sheet will be coming home on Wednesday. The test will cover pages 152 – 165 in the English book. The hardest part of the test will be the irregular verb section. The children will have to know all twenty irregular verbs in past tense and in the past tense with have, has or had.
Writing
On Monday the children will be finishing up their descriptive writing stories. I asked them to bring them home this past weekend and have you look them over and make any suggestions or corrections. Hopefully, this happened. On Tuesday, the children will be typing their stories in the computer lab. The finished copy will be set up like a magazine article. Wednesday, the children will begin working on a Diamante Poem.
Science
We have finished the section of this Unit on Herman, the anatomically correct person. The test is scheduled for Tuesday, December 11th. The notes on this section can be found in your child’s science notebook under the heading The Body’s Organs. The test is two part: first, I will hold up the organ and the children will have to identify it by writing their answer onto the test sheet, second the children will have to write which organ goes with each job that is written on the back of the test sheet. I also, hope to finish up the chapter on the human body next week and test before Christmas Break.
