Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Dear Parents,

It’s the 13^th week of class. This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It is a day of celebration and being thankful for everything you have. Usually on this day, families will gather and have a feast of delicious food. Turkey is the main course (served with stuffing), along with mashed potatoes, and candied yams.

This week we completed:

Reading: We read Web Wonders. It is a short article from Time for Kids about spider webs. We learned that spider web silk is super strong and it can even trap birds! One day, scientists hope to use spider silk in more things (jeans, car bumpers, etc.) to make them stronger.

Science: This week, we finished the Chapter 4 Test.

Next Week: We will learn about different kinds of rocks (sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous). We will also learn about different minerals in nature.

* It’s test week next week so we will be taking a reading test and also the “big big vocabulary test” (Weeks 1 to 13)!
