STPG Updates:

Tonight is our final Sappington Family Dining Out event:  Our 5th graders are hosting Culver's Night to raise money for their 5th grade party.  Sappington 5th graders will be happily serving you burgers, fries, ice cream treats and of course, the all-important cheese curds (my favorite).  Culver's has lots of healthy options as well! Remember: visit the Culver's at Big Bend and I-44 (by Sam's Club) for this special event!! 

Wednesday, 10/23, is the pick-up day for Great American.  Please plan to pick up your fundraiser items between 3 pm and 7 pm Wednesday. 

This week in curriculum:

In math, we are finishing working with using division and multiplication strategies. We will be taking our quiz over multiplication and division strategies, word problems, and properties tomorrow. The students have a review they are working on due tomorrow. On Wednesday, we will begin Chapter 9.  This is focused on how to write multiplication and division expressions and equations.

In reading, we are continuing to work on making inferences within poetry.

In writing, we are working on continuing to draft and revise our realistic fiction pieces. We are focusing on revising our endings and making sure our stories make sense and the whole story fits together.

I hope everyone has a great week! And I look forward to talking with everyone at conferences next week!
