Reading Logs Please continue to log minutes with your child. November Reading Logs are due Monday, December 3.
Math We will review and take a test on Chapter 8 on Monday. We will then move on to Chapter 9, Data and Graphs. Students will record the results of a survey in a tally table and frequency table. They will be solving problems by reading tables and bar graphs.
Flash Cards Students should be working hard to memorize their addition and subtraction facts. To check memorization of these facts, we are taking timed tests. Once your child passes a set of facts, they will move to the next level. Look in your child's planner to find out what facts they should be working on at home.
Social Studies We began the unit Our Country Long Ago. Next week we will learn about the first European settlements in North America; St. Augustine, Jamestown, and Plymouth. We will also review the origins of the Thanksgiving holiday. We will learn more about Jamestown and Plymouth by reading a history map. We will also learn about the causes and effects of the American Revolution.
