Battle of the Books Updates (4th and 5th graders):
If you ordered a Battle Bundle, you were invited to pick up your bundle at BCS on Monday, December 7, from 12 to 3pm. If you plan to check out a Battle book from BCS, you may place a hold on one Battle book at a time for check out. Holds placed before 3pm on Monday will be available for a special Battle of the Books pickup on Tuesday, December 8, from 9am to 3pm. If you cannot make that pickup time, your books will still be available during our regular Thursday and Friday pickups.
Baldwin Library also has multiple copies of each Battle title, and they even have a curbside pickup option. We are so excited to begin the Battle of the Books and we are looking forward to seeing you on Monday. A special thanks to Baldwin Library for all of their hard work putting this together.
Happy Reading!
Materials pick up each week will be Thursday from 3-5pm and Friday from 11am-1pm.
Choice Hour Updates:
Choice hour for everyone is from 3:25-4:10pm.
All Choice Hour Quarter II is virtual except for competitive 6-8 sports teams (boys basketball and girls swimming).

| This is our updated schedule! Please print a copy for your child. In time they should be able to independently navigate this. Thank you for your support at home until that happens. |
Here is your homework for today:
3rd Grade Reading: 20+ minutes
4th Grade Reading: 30+ minutes
Language Arts:
Currently we are focused on Figurative Language. We are working on revising our narratives to add this language in and enjoying the novel, "The Year of the Dog". Ask your child to share with you a summary of what we have read so far! It is such a great book!
Word Study: On Friday we were excited to introduce our first word study assignment. Please ask your child to share his/her words with you and the assignment that is due by Wednesday, December 16th. Once your child has completed all of the assignments, he/she is ready to take the test online (Spelling TestMe). Feel free to practice with your child first! Remember, we are focused on patterns of spelling and how we use them across our language as well as vocabulary. There is so much to learn about words in our language!
3rd Grade Math:
We have a unit 2 test on Thursday. Today we completed a review (JP 155-156) for unit 2 together in class. Students should share this review with you and use it as a study guide. They can also use the journal pages and HR pages as a review for the test as well.
Today we took Quick Quiz # 1 in class. Ask your child to share the results with you!
H only 2-15 (You will share your answers tomorrow in a breakout group.)
Study your 9's facts for 10 or more minutes.
Online Tests are due tomorrow (Make sure you practice the 9 facts before you take the quiz!) 😃
XtraMath: Three Rounds with Mr. C!
4th Grade Math:
HR 3-2
Online Tests are due tomorrow!
Social Studies:
We are currently studying map skills. Soon we will learn more about the first people to settle in the United States. The event below would be a nice enrichment for that study.
Science:
We are studying the scientific method, structures of life, animal adaptations, energy, motion and matter, and so much more.
