A Look Ahead

I know some of the students were excited to get their prizes today at lunch. It was nice to see some of them in their car! Your child will have another opportunity to pick up their prizes on Monday from 11:30-12:15. I'm sure there will be other days announced soon. We will have our virtual dance on Wednesday at 2:00pm. Our class earned hat day and I enjoyed seeing everyone wearing their hats. Monday we will wear crazy socks. Please remind your child! 

Hard to get a good picture of everyone with their hat on...

Multiplication Flash Cards

I have been talking to the students about flash cards. It would be great if you are able to purchase your child some flash cards so they can practice memorizing their facts. One of my students shared the set she has which is great because you can categorize the facts into don't know yet, sort of know and mastered.  Her mom found them on Amazon. (Link, if you are interested.) I also told the students they could easily make their own with some index cards or by cutting paper into rectangles....write the fact on one side and the answer on the back. 

Curriculum

Math-  We continue working in Chapter 3: More Multiplication Facts and Strategies. The students will have a graded assignment on Tuesday. 

ELA- In writing, we will continue to focus on personal narratives, writing good beginnings, and using a checklist with our writing. In reading, we will focus on how characters change the plot as well as character traits. 

Science- We will move back into science midweek and focus on how humans and animals change their environments. 

Social Studies-We will wrap up our discussion on the 5 Themes of Geography with a graded assignment on Tuesday or Wednesday. 

*I will include the Week At A Glance in your child's Google Classroom on Monday that will include when graded assignments for the week will take place.
