This week in Literacy:
Today begins Black History Month where I hope to expose our children to a new person or two each day who represents people of color who have made significant contributions to our world. I hope this may create some great conversations at home! Some of the resources we will use are digital books that can be accessed between 7am-3pm. Feel free to use at home as able. BHM art gallery and BHM book library
Our class is reading Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone this month. If your child has their own copy of this story or wants to get one, they are welcome to bring them in!
In Module 3 we will focus on reading classic chapter books. As a class will will dive deep into Peter Pan by JM Barrie and use this text to explore text dependent questions, character traits, point of view, theme, and more! Please check for any classics you can get your hands on to share at home. A list of some great classics can be found here. word- classics
This week in Math:
Timed multiplication quizzes have begun!! Your child will have an icecream sundae sheet in their agenda to keep track of their successes with these 90 second 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! QUIZZES WILL BE EVERY Tuesday and Thursday. Your child chooses which fact to quiz themselves on until they complete all!
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.
