This week we finish our chapter in Math on addition and subtraction on Tuesday with a test. After our day off on Wednesday, we will start with chapter 3: multiplication and division. At this point, students should already know their facts, but I know that is hardly the case and will be starting to work with timed tests to help them work on their skills.
We have been learning about rocks and minerals lately in Science, if your child hasn't told you yet, ask them the difference between a rock and mineral. Bonus points if they can tell you what an igneous rock and sedimentary rock is.
Book Reports should be getting started, I have approved most students' book selections. Still waiting for some to make that decision. Remember to work as you go!
Finally, I want to thank and introduce our Parent Liaison for this year, Karima Diaz. Be sure to look for the contact info paper she is sending out so that she can keep you up to date!
