OTHER
Next week we are off to Duluth. If you have offered us a cooler to use, you can drop it off anytime. We
like for them to be here by Tues. evening, so that we can pack them Wed. morning. Your child should bring his/her beverages
(and yours if you are chaperon-ing) on Wed. morning, so that they can be packed at that time. Thanks!
MATH
We have completed chapter 20 and will be testing it tomorrow. It continues with the geometry skills and
again contains a fair amount of vocabulary. We have studied similarity, congruence, symmetry, and translations, rotations,
and reflections. Please encourage your child to review the terms tonight. You can watch for the test to come home with your
child on Monday. We will then move on to chapter 21, which focuses on perimeter and area. There will be many formulas the
students will need to become comfortable with.
READING
We tested theme 6 this week, and the test should have come home with your child on Wed. If you have not
seen it, please do ask about it. We are now reading Where the Red Fern Grows. I have told the students that this is
one of my favorite novels of all time and that I have read it at least 15 times. We have met our main character and your child
should be aware of the problem in the book to this point. You may want to ask about it, and if you have never read the book,
you may want to read it along with your child.
