November 26&27
Writing- Continuing to draft our informational text with a focus on elaboration.
Math- I was ecstatic at how well everyone did on their chapter test! On Friday we made our first set of multiplication flash cards. We will continue making those until we reach our 12's. We will begin taking our multiplication quizzes, starting with 0's and 1's tomorrow. When your student makes an 80 or higher they will move on to the next facts. I encourage you to study with your child for a few minutes each night. (They do not have separate flash cards for 0's and 1's. We discussed that when multiplying a number by 0 the product is always 0 and when multiplying by 1 the product is always the other factor. So they should be fine with those, but let me know if you would like your student to create some for those facts.)
Science- Continuing our study on sound through explorations.
Social Studies- Moving forward our understanding of the settling of South Carolina with a focus on the diverse population that is being formed and how each people group contributed to the new culture of South Carolina.
**We finished up Boosterthon on Friday. Thank you so much for all of you who were able to contribute. Our class raised $20 per lap or about $700! Remember all pledges are due back by December 5th.
I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful break.
Let me know if you need anything!
