Parents,
I hope everyone has an enjoyable and relaxing Thanksgiving break. I am looking forward to seeing some catapults when we return for those students who were interested in doing the November STEAM Challenge.

Update 11/21/2014
Parents,
As mentioned yesterday, I have assigned math homework this weekend. We are finishing topic 4 division and will be testing on Monday so the homework serves as a nice review for the assessment.. I wanted to get the test in before Thanksgiving break. They have to complete pg. 92-93 sets A-E from their text book. Since I assigned homework over the weekend, I allowed students to work on it at the end of the math lesson so your child might have finished it already.
Thank you and have a great weekend.

Update 11/20/2014
Parents,
Sorry for not sending a blog out last night but the system was down. They have a spelling test tomorrow to study for. They also need to finish up their reading log to hand in and a math worksheet on division.
Students will be receiving homework this weekend. We are finishing up topic 4 and I would like to test them on it before the students go on Thanksgiving break. The test will be next Monday. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The students who practiced their facts and know them should not have a problem finishing it very quickly. Students who will not be here next week will test on it when we come back.
Thank you for understanding.

Update 11/18
Hi Parents and families,
For homework tonight, please keep on studying those spelling words--they're a bit tricky this week! If you want to use an online tool to help, go to www.spellingcity.com and search for "Coyote School News." This is the title of our list. Students can play free games and take practice tests.
Students also have their nightly reading assignment and a math homework sheet. Don't forget--if you're stuck on homework, your child can always log into his/her www.kz.com account and watch today's video lesson!
Lastly, please consider supporting the HES PTO by stopping by Wendy's tonight for dinner between 5pm and 8pm. Just mention that you're there to support our school, and a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit our students.
Have a wonderful evening!

Parents,
Students have to complete the math sheet, 4-1, on the introduction to division. They were given strategies to help them solve the problems. Students should still be reading tonight even though they don't have a reading log for this short week. Thank you and have a great night.

Update 11/3/2014
Happy Monday Parents,
Students will be working on complete sentences for their grammar skill. Their spelling words involve adding -s and -es to the end of words to make it plural. Students have to be aware that some words that end with "y" will be changed to "i" and will add "es." Some words will just add "s" while others such as words that end with "ch" will end with "es."
For reading, students will be working on Native American themed novel studies with the literature circle format. The following are their spelling words for the week: monkeys, friends, plays, supplies, taxes, holidays, months, companies, costumes, sandwiches, hobbies, daisies, delays, scratches, counties, teammates, memories, bunches, batteries, donkeys CHALLENGE: eyelashes, ambulances, trophies, secretaries, inventories
For math we will be testing on topic 3 this Thursday on multiplication. In science, we are doing a STEAM project this week. I am asking students if they have an extra cardboard juice or half gallon milk container to bring in by Wednesday.
They have a problem solving sheet to complete for homework tonight. They will get review, "reteach" out of the math book tomorrow in which they will have two days to complete. They also have their reading log to complete this week.
Reminder that parent teacher conferences are this Friday.
Have a great week.
