Dear Parents,
Next week, January 30th-Feb. 3rd is going to be a busy week! It should be a fun week though!
Tuesday, Jan.31st is Math Night at Walmart. Please don't forget Zaxby's before Walmart. If you come to Walmart that will be your homework, if not you'll do your homework in your packet. I will be there at 6:00 and I hope to see you there!
We are continuing to work on subtracting 3 digit numbers with regrouping, as well as money and making change. You can help your child with making change using real money at home. Thanks!
Wednesday, Feb. 1st Curry Mura will come in and do an Enrichment lesson with the class. The children love these thinking maps and they are higher leveled!
We are researching (Nonfiction Study of Amazing Animals) on Groliergo, as well as PebbleGo in the computer lab. I am teaching them how to write a research paper. So far they are little sponges that can't get enough of this! (Your child may research at home also. I'm sending home how to get on both sites if you don't already know. Enjoy!
On Friday, Feb. 3rd our penguin project is due. On this day we will all dress in black and white and have a Penguin Day that's lots of fun! We will share our penguins with other classes and watch the movie, March of the Penguins. I also have planned a special penguin treat for your children.
Please continue reading and making your A.R. goals for the week. The more you read, the better reader you"ll become!
The same is true with your subtraction facts! I need your help with this. I'm sending home 3 subtraction sheets that I would like for you to copy and give to your child each night. They need to be able to do 100 problems in 7 minutes with 100% accuracy. Some have mastered it, so they might not need to do it every night. Those that need extra support, please work with them. I want them to feel successful!
Your child has editing homework Monday-Thursday. Please review this with them and make sure their editing folder comes back to school with them on Friday. Friday is the day we check it and sometimes not everybody has it. Please help me with this. Thanks!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Keep Reading and Writing!
