This week in Literacy:
This week we will finish Unit 3 of our Frogs Module. Today we are having a Frog Celebration! Students will bring home a Freaky Frog Book Collection of many amazing products we learned this quarter.
Our class started a read aloud this week of Because of Winn Dixie. This is a funny, heartwarming classic. I hope it will help your child give even more love to any at home pets.
This week in Math:
Timed multiplication quizzes begin in two short weeks. Your child will have an icecream sundae sheet in their agenda to keep track of their successes with these 1 minute timed quizzes. There are 16 questions on each quiz and students pass with a 15/16 or better. If they do NOT pass, there will be a makeup opportunity each Friday during arrival. All quizzes will come home the day they are taken and will be located inside the plastic X sundae page. Please do what you can to help prepare your child for these fun and important assessments!
Students will be working with geometry vocabulary and concepts over these next 2 weeks. This topic is fun but vocabulary is KEY to understanding. For this reason, students will keep a geometry cheat sheet inside their agendas.
This quarter in Science: In 2nd quarter, students will learn about Force and Motion. Key words: gravity, direction, friction, speed, force.
