Kemp - Brazile 10/16

Parents - 

We've just about wrapped up this week. While the kids are busy working on their new Social Studies (The Changing Nation) and Science (Matter) units, I'm trying to print report cards for next week. I look forward to seeing you during Conference Week. If you forgot your time, just let me know and I'll reply with your time. If you have any concerns and topics you want to cover, feel free to let me know if you need me to compile anything ahead of time. I'll go over their scores that I have and review the report card. I know it's all online, but I'll go over any areas of concern. 

With Conference week, we will dismiss 2 hours early all next week. We'll be under a time crunch during the day, so we will not have Spelling next week. 

In Reading, we're continuing The Giver by Lois Lowry. We'll work on various skills and I'll model different skills during the read-alouds. 

In Writing, we'll work on our expository writing through our unit work and more narrative writing. This quarter, we'll complete narrative pieces in one sitting as well as editing.

In Social Studies, we're working on the period after Reconstruction through the Spanish-American War. The kids were given checklists, but everything is online at http://Brazile.education/social_studies/changing_nation1.html

In Science, the Matter unit has begun. Again, they have checklists, but it's at http://Brazile.education/science/matter.html

Speaking of Science (nice segue), we need some supplies (and some for rotations on October 30). Here's a link if you'd like to sign up http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4DA5A92FA2FA7-supplies

Thanks!

Have a great weekend! Roll Tide!!
