Literacy
Congratulations to everyone who successfully learned the spelling of the assigned spelling words. I like how most people used the long a spelling patterns (consonant ai consonant / consonant a silent e) to spelling the new words. You may have chosen the wrong spelling pattern, but at least your are using an appropriate strategy to spell unknown words.

This week different groups will be given different words. You will do exactly the same practice exercises in your notebook at home. The first sort you will do with the supply teacher tomorrow. I love the level of ORGANIZATION in your notebooks. Keep it up!

Math
Try question #2 from the handout in your notebook.

A different food bank has about $4200 left in its bank account after one year. Create a pattern rule to describe this pattern. What amount might the food bank have started with? What amount might it take out every week?

Choose an amount to withdraw each week. Choosing multiples of 10 or 5, make the calculations easier. Remember there are 52 weeks in a year. Multiply to get the total amount withdrawn then ADD that amount to the amount left to get the starting amount. Write the PATTERN RULE:

Start with $ __________ and withdraw $________ each week.

Art
The spider webs are looking very spooky and creative. Remember to use different types of lines when creating your pattern in each section.

 

Science

So far living things are classified as producers and consumers. Producers (plants) make their own food in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

 

 

Consumers must eat to get the nutrients they need for energy to survive. Types of consumers:

• Herbivores
• Carnivores
• Omnivores
• Decomposers

What would happen in there were no decomposers? What do decomposers do?

 

What conclusions can you make from the flow chart above? The arrow points in the direction where energy is given.

 

Reminders:

• Permission form and money for Halloween bowling.
