Science, S'mores, Socktober & Spelling

Science & S'mores
As a way to finish up our Science unit on investigations and connect our Reading Street story about camping, we created s'mores. This fun way to work 'cross the curriculum gave us a chance to experiment, learn, and have fun.


Soctober
We are collecting new and gently used socks for our community project in Social Studies. Please consider donating to our charity of choice: SOS Community Services of Ypsilanti. We have until October 27th to donate.


Spelling
Spellingcity.com/dottiemueller is updated this week. I will try to update it every week so that students can go online to practice their words. Please let me know if spellingcity.com is not updated; that is something I tend to forget, but can do it quickly.

After we take the pretest on Friday, your child will learn if they should study list 1 or the challenge list (list 2). Your child is eligible each week for a higher score if they get 100% on the pretest or their list for the week AND get both dictation sentences correct. Typically, the higher score is a 3.5. In very rare cases a 4.0 is given depending on the difficulty of the skill presented in the dictation sentence.
