Curriculum connections:
Math- We will focus on multiplication with emphasis on vocabulary, properties, and application in word problems. Please continue to review multiplication facts at home. I appreciate the home practice with subtraction facts. Soon we will have all students meeting or exceeding the grade level expectation: Meets=80 to 89 correct problems in 5 minutes. 90% and above exceeds. For multiplication and division, the students have 7 minutes.
Reading-Please continue to support the reading goal of 9 pts. for the second quarter.
Social Studies-We will complete our study of Paul Revere.
Science-Focus will be on soil, erosion, and weathering. Our focus in writing is informational text and will be integrated into this unit. You may have heard about our "soil critters."
I enjoyed seeing all of you at our music performance last week. Our stars did a great job!
As always, I appreciate all of your support at home. Have a wonderful week and enjoy your Tuesday holiday.
