11/26-11/30 Spelling List and HW Note

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. We will start learning about percents in

math this week. If your student wants to retake any of the 4 previous chapter math tests, have them let me

know and I can delete their previous test score from Mastery Connect and they can try again. We are

working on inference and argumentative writing along with realistic fiction for language arts.We are going

to begin constructing small houses this week and test them for heat loss/gain and then insulate them and

compare our results. Please send in any extra bubble wrap, foam, fabric, etc. that you can spare to help

withthis science project! Thank you! Also, please send in book orders. I will do an online order this

weekend. If you'd like to send in a check made out to Scholastic or exact cash along with the book order

form I can order your books for you. Otherwise order online at scholastic.com/bookclubs. My class code

is TLQTY. When you order I get points to order more books for our classroom! Thanks for your support!

Love,

Professor Malouf
