Upper Elementary Newsletter - Friday, December 6, 2013


December 6, 2013

Dear Families:

This is Noah!!!! And I’m writing the Friday letter today.  We have done a lot of spelling.  Ben has already finished his spelling words on the first week of school.  Grace, Madeleine and Park are almost finished with their spelling too.  Hamza and I are in the 500 to 700s in our spelling.  Madeleine will be taking special spelling training from Ben starting on January 1, 2014.

We’ve made a lot of progress on the play. The map is almost done, and we are memorizing our scripts. The explorers are Hamza as Hoei-Shin , Liam is Brendon the Bold, Park is Bjarni Herjulfsson,  Ben is Leif Ericsson, Grace is Prince Madoc of Wales, Kya is Christopher Columbus and Emma and Noah are Native Americans.  Noah is Abenaki and Emma is Cherokee. 

Everyone except Ben is done with their Native American bracelet/Choker. We couldn’t get real porcupine quills so we used dyed toothpicks.  We used toothpicks to put on our bracelet/choker.

The 5th years read Elena and the 4th years read My Name is Maria Isabel from the trophies.

The hamster has too much diabetes, and it will cost us $200 every time we go to the vet so we have to get a different kind of pet.  Hamza and I wanted to name him Diabeto, but everyone else didn’t, especially Ben.

Abi has been doing very well on vocabulary; she helped Madeleine, Grace and Emma.  Ben has been doing very well this week too.  Hamza and I have been doing well too.

Park, Grace and Ben are very high in their math in focus books.  Ben, Grace and I have been going back to Saxon math. I am on page 57 (I don’t know how those people do math so fast!)
