  1. Monday, September 17, 2012 Anchorage Public School Reading/Language/Writing Students will continue reading for informational text using the story “The Night of the Pufflings.” Vocabulary from the story are: uninhabited, burrows, stranded, venture, instinctively, nestles. Students will take a test on Friday for comprehension of the story and its vocabulary. This week in language students will continue recognizing and writing simple and compound sentences. Math This week math will be all about adding & subtracting.  We will be reviewing the traditional algorithms and then practicing with real world problems.  We will be delving into some multi-step problems that involve more than one operation.  We will learn how to set these problems up with a variable assigned for the unknown.  Thursday we will take a re-test of the material from our last quiz to see how much progress we have made in mastering these learning targets. Science This week students will continue their studies of adaptations. On Monday, students will do a bird beak lab to determine the best beak adaptations for eating certain foods. On Tuesday, students will study defense adaptations, specifically camouflage vs. mimicry. Social Studies This week students will continue learning about how landforms such as rivers and mountains influence where human activities are located in Kentucky.  Also, we will explore why the "Bluegrass State- Kentucky" can also be known as the "River State." We'll examine the 89,431 miles of rivers and streams in Kentucky and see how these waterways provide recreational activities and countless economic opportunities. • Upcoming Dates: • September 18th -High Attendance Day • September 20thParent Academy 7:00-8:30. • September 27th -Pep Rally • September 28th -Field trip money is due. • September 28th 1st midterm ends • October 1st-5th Fall Break • October 8th-12th School at the Zoo • October 12th Midterm reports NEWSLETTERMs. Campbell Ms. Holt Ms. Harper Just a Reminder: Field Experience at the Louisville Zoo- Information and permission slips went home last Monday in the weekly folder.
