What we are learning in Room 12...
If your child is going to be absent, please let me know in advance if possible, so I can send make-up work with them.
- Math - We have started our next unit (Unit 6) and are learning about bar graphs, picture graphs, and line plots! Please see the video below about practicing the 9s multiplication facts. All students need to continue practicing multiplication and division at home!
- Reading - This week we are taking the Ohio state A.I.R. Reading test. A link was sent in Class Dojo to use to practice with - it has example questions and stories from three different sample tests.
- Writing/Spelling - This week the spelling word pattern is "contractions." The words will be in the back of the yellow take-home folder and the test will take place on Friday. In writing class, we are going to begin creating a class book about Growth Mindset.
- Science - The students' first science unit is ending this week. They will return to our room for the next social studies unit - Tallmade History.
