Greeting Families,

The past couple of weeks in room 314 we have been busy immersing ourselves in the study of the Civil War. Students have learned about causes, the different sides, and the Underground Railroad, just to name a few. Students have shown a lot of interest in studying the various topics outside of school and have brought in a lot of information to share with the class.

In math we have been reviewing multi digit addition and subtraction but our focus has been on multi digit multiplication. We have a lot of fun projects planned leading up to Winter Break, where students will be able to show off their multiplication skills they have worked hard towards improving!

In planning ahead, the following dates will be important to remember:

- Friday, December 7th @ 2:00 Winter Sing, progress reports are also sent home with your child today.
-Wednesday, December 12th @ 2:00 BOCS concert
-Friday, December 21st, Winter Festival in Ms. McGrorty's room. Treats are welcome.
-December 24th to January 1st Winter Break, classes resume Wednesday January 2nd

Testing week has finally ended! It has been a very busy week and students have worked hard towards achieving proficiency on all of the subjects they were tested on. I am proud of the work the students have done so far this year and we look forward to accomplishing many more goals as we move forward.

Report cards were sent home today with students. A parent/guardian should sign the envelope and return it to school, with their child, on Monday.

Reminders:

Student Council is continuing their food drive in support of the Salvation Army. Please send with your child any non-perishable food items that you are able to donate to this cause. The POD team that collects the most items will win a party.

Monday: Bear Wear
Wednesday: POD color day, wear green!
Friday: Favorite team color(s)

There is no school November 21st, 22nd and 23rd.

This week in our class we have been studying for the WKCE testing that will begin on Monday November 5th. We have been reviewing reading strategies and math work that we have done this quarter. We have also been making propoganda voting posters for our governement inquiry project.
Remember to study your things at home this weekend for the tests.

Your Weekly Blog Masters,
