Mad Minute
Students will be tests weekly on their multiplication. Remember to check Monday folders to see where your child currently is in mastering their facts 1-12. We will celebrate in the spring with a sundae party. To earn ice cream, students must have mastered their 1s, 2s and 3d. Study, Study, Study!
Valentine's Day
We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Friday, February 12. Currently I am not certain of the time of the party. As of now, we have 23 students. A class list will come home next week for you to use for Valentine's. If your child wishes to decorate a Valentine's box for the party, that is fine but this is something that must be done at home. I will provide bags for students without one on the day of the party. If you are interested in sending in treats, please contact me so I can let you know what we need.
We Are Learning To...
Language Arts
We will continue to read Dragon of the Red Dawn, where we will focus on answering questions about the text using details from the text, finding the main idea, and using context clues to determine the meanings of unfamiliar vocabulary. We will also we looking at an informational text about current Japan and using it to learn more about text features.
Math
We will continue to look at the different properties of multiplication and division. Students will continue to work with parenthesis and the order of operations to determine the products of multiplication and division problems. There will be a quiz over the content this week.
