Dear Parents and Students, The week sure has flown by! I can't believe we are looking at Thanksgiving coming around the corner. A big thank you to all our homeroom moms for having met last week to hash out the year's activities. We sure to appreciate all their hard work! I'm sure you will be hearing from them soon about volunteering opportunities and upcoming activities. Mentor Poem: The mentor poem is due no later than first thing Monday morning, November 9th. Please help your child by checking for the following criteria: Title of poem, poem is typed by them, author is given, and a significant border is present that reflects the main ideas of the poem Based on previous experience, your child may need help adjusting the margins so the poem is more toward the middle of the page so a border will nicely frame the poem. Please check last week's posting if you need to view the picture example. Homework: Homework has changed slightly this week and will continue to do so over the next few weeks. We feel that if we give the students more homework in one area then we need to adjust accordingly. Again this week, your child will not have spelling homework or reading log homework. We are expecting they will be working on any typing and illustrating of their personal poems, writing Night Writes, and logging in to IXL.. Please check your child's planner each night for the poems that are to be completed and turned in with illustrations. Know we are dedicating quite a bit of classroom time to this project. If a lot of work is coming home for the poetry they may not be making the most efficient use of their time in class. All poems should be typed in their poetry folder located in their google drive. **A biography assignment will be given on Monday, November 9th. Students will have until November 12th to have a biography and person of study approved by me. Contact Verification Form: These forms will come home in Tuesday folders. Please note any changes in communication or contact information on this form. Not returning the form within 10 days confirms to Round Rock ISD that the information is correct and you wish to receive communication to the contacts provided. Units of Study: Math: Fractions and place value to the billions Language Arts: Creating original poetry by studying the structure of poems and study the elements of mentor poetry. Science: Weather ** No spelling or reading log due to poetry unit and Night Writes Upcoming Events: 11/9 Mentor Poems due & Singing Stars 7:00pm 11/10 - 12 Scholastic Book Fair in Library 11/11 Veteran's Day Concert with Grisham 11/12 TAG parent information meeting 6:00pm 11/14 Singing Stars at TX Stars game 11/18 Thanksgiving feast at CCE 11/20 PTA reflections due 11/23 Thanksgiving Holidays 11/30 Mentor Poem Memorized & Night Writes Due Have a cozy weekend, Virginia
