Reading After reading all about Owen & Mzee, a hippo and a tortoise who became friends, students will choose one topic: hippos or tortoises to research. After completing a graphic organizer they will use the facts they gathered to write a report.
Reading Logs Please continue to read and help your child record minutes in their November reading folder.
We had our October READING CELEBRATION on Thursday. We celebrated with lunch in the classroom, a Magic School Bus Video and freeze pops. Students were also given a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Way to go readers!!
Language Arts
Grammar We will focus on pronouns.
Spelling New spelling words will go home on Monday, Nov. 10th. Please make sure your child cuts them apart and then sorts the new words. Keep them in the Ziploc bag and in a safe place so they can be used throughout the next 2 weeks.
Math We will continue the topic Mental Math. The lessons next week will focus on using a hundreds chart to add 2 two-digit numbers, adding using multiples of 10, and using number patterns to solve problems. An assessment will be given at the end of the week.
Math Facts Math facts should be reviewed daily. The Math flash cards that you purchased should be used to practice math facts as well as the one minute math practice worksheets that are brought home. Weekly timed tests are given.
