Update 2/5

Hi Parents!

Tonight's homework is pages 343-344.  Students should complete all of page 343 and the Lesson Check section of 344.  As an alternate to doing all of the problems, students may choose to only complete the evens and, in addition, watch the 6.4 video on ThinkCentral to prepare for tomorrow's lesson.  If your child chooses the alternative option, please initial your child's homework page to verify that he/she watched the video.

This week in reading, we're working on analyzing primary sources and will be returning to our study of MLK to work with his "I Have a Dream" speech.  We will also have a vocabulary quiz on the words we've been working with for the last 4 weeks.  Students should be able to spell, decompose, and explain the meaning of the following words: 

beautiful
classify
community
communities
electricity
happiness
prettier

You may want to help your child practice correct spelling and identifying the parts (prefix, root word, suffix) of these words.

Don't forget Family Thursday 2/8.  There will be several fun stations for students to participate in, as well as free pizza and an opportunity to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair.  You won't want to miss it!

Have a great evening!
