As you can see by the math papers that came home this week, we have been working hard on division with remainders. It would greatly benefit your child if he/she practiced some of these at home as well as keep working on those multiplication/division facts. Remember to use Xtra Math and WOWZERS at home. We only have so much time in school to do so much so extra practice is imminent.
Student of the Week is James. James enjoys pizza, math, football, blue, and Christmas. He describes himself as funny and wants to learn more about MT History this year. His idea of a perfect day is being in Florida and one of the best things about him is that he is a good football player.
Happenings for next week:
On Tuesday, we will be having a docent come in from the YAM to share some artwork with us and talk about different artists. She does a great job and the kids can look forward to that.
Math-we are continuing to learn different strategies to solve division problems-distributive property, compatible numbers, and the traditional algorithm with & without remainders. Again, extra practice at home would be great.
Reading-we are starting Unit 4 of Lead 21. It is on Space and students will be learning about different astronomers in their differentiate readers and this will lead to an independent inquiry project on biography projects. More on that to come.
Language-continuing with irregular verbs
Spelling-Unit 17 words
Science-Weather & Climate
Ask your child about the new READ-A-LOUD book we are writing and if they can tell you 3 things about it, write the name of it in the planner for free money.
End of the quarter is quickly approaching. It is next Friday so that means that on Monday, January 18th there is NO SCHOOL as that is a PIR Day. Report cards will be coming home on Friday, January 22nd.
Have a great weekend and as always, if questions, contact me.
