The dates for those are: Monday, November 24th (10:40am-11:30am) and Thursday, December 4th (7:55am-8:35am). If you can make these dates and times and have a fingerprint clearance card, please send me an email as soon as possible! We would love to have you in the classroomWe will cover chapters 28-31 in class this week in Pinocchio. In grammar and writing, we will be working on memorizing our prepositional phrases. We will also have a shortened Spalding list this week. We will be covering 20 words. There will be no idiom or poem this week because of the shortened week.
 
In Math, we will be embarking on a new chapter, Multiplying and Dividing by 8's.
 
In History, we are continuing our study of Ancient Rome. We will be learning about Julius Caesar and Cleopatra this week.
 
In Science, we will be having a review day on Monday in preparation of our Science quiz on Tuesday. 
 
Please reach out to me with questions or concerns. Have a fantastic Thanksgiving! I'm so very grateful to be blessed with such a sweet, scholarly, and attentive group of students this year.

Warm Regards,
