We are super busy this week! We have several Christmas crafts mixed in with our regular learning. Please stay up to date with the blog, and check your child's binder every single night.
Remember that we have a Social Studies Voc. quiz this Tuesday along with a graded timed math drill. We have been practicing the math drills this entire school year. This one will be our first graded one.
A great big thank-you to the moms of Daniel, Avery, Eric, and Sophia for taking the class to lunch so I could enjoy an amazing lunch for teacher treat day. If any of you met the class in the lunchroom without me seeing you, thanks to you as well!
We need two loaves of bread for a craft. If you can help us, just send me an email. We would need them by Wednesday. It sounds strange, but the kids are going to love it!
If you haven't sent in your child's field trip money please send it in Monday.
Story this Week: Anansi Goes Fishing
Genre: Folk Tale
Phonics: Compound Words
Comp. Skill: Cause and Effect
Comp. Strategy: Monitor and Fix Up
Grammar: Verbs for Past, Present, and Future
In Math we are continuing Chapter 5 with 2-digit subtraction. Please make sure your child is working the entire problem out and writing all of the steps on the problem. The kids have caught on quickly. I am just seeing careless errors when they are not writing all of their steps. When they regroup, they need to cross out and add the new numbers before they subtract. Our motto is - BIGGER BOTTOM BETTER BORROW! - Remind your child of this as they practice at home.
We are quickly closing out this nine weeks. Please don't forget to check INow so you are up to date on your child's grades. Signed papers will be coming home this Thursday. Please help me by signing and returning those Friday.
Our treasure box is getting low if anybody would like to send in more items for it. The Dollar Tree has great items that the kids love.
Have a SUPER week!
