Reading
Please make sure students have ample books to read at
home. November is full of holidays and Non Fiction book reports are still due
on a weekly basis.
Writing - Poetry
This Thursday our two visiting poets will meet with
the class to talk about the writing process and how everyone can be a
poet.

This upcoming week we will be multiplying by 11’s and
12’s. Students are still learning how to multiply by 9’s using their fingers.
Please ask them to show you how to multiply by using their fingers. Please
follow the link below to see an explanation of this process.
Science - Field Trip, Mock rock and Calcite test
Students were given permission slips for our upcoming
field trip to the aquarium. If this form was lost a pdf was attached in the
parent email.
Please follow the link to see photos of our
investigation into the mock rocks.
Calcite test
Next week students will perform Calcite tests on
different rocks using vinegar.
Why are we testing for calcite in several rocks?
Calcite is one of the most common minerals on Earth
Why use vinegar to test for calcite?
Calcite is the ONLY mineral that bubbles when it comes
into contact with cold acid.
How can I perform this science experiment at home?
