Week of November 28-December 2

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break!

We are back to a normal schedule.  All Reading Street papers went home on Monday.  There will be a spelling test, vocabulary test, reading comprehension test, and a phonics test on Friday!

Last week the kids took their science test on Rocks and Minerals.  I graded them and sent them home on Wednesday too! Hopefully you had a chance to review it with your child.

We started unit 5 in math yesterday.  We are working on place value.  The kids have a place value chart and a multiplication chart in their take home folder.  Please leave it in their folder so they can use it at home and at school.

Homework:

Reading:  Read and fluency all week/due on Friday
Spelling:  Test Friday, paper homework on Monday and Tuesday
Vocabulary:  Test Friday
Math: Nightly math practice (If your child has passed their subtraction test, feel free to start working on multiplication facts!
Science:  None
Social Studies:  None

Thanksgiving Week

We have a short week of school due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.  The only homework the kids have is to study for the science test on Rocks and Minerals.  They will take the test on Wednesday.  I sent home a study guide today.  We will continue to review tomorrow in class.  If your child knows the information on the study guide, they should do great on the test on Wednesday.

There is no nightly reading, fluency, nightly math practice and no Reading Street this week.  Enjoy the break!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family!

Thursday

Good afternoon!


The kids are in the middle of taking their unit 4 math test right now.  I hope to have them graded and returned tomorrow!  We will begin unit 5 after the Thanksgiving Break!

• Nightly math practice-also due tomorrow
• Spelling Test
• Vocabulary Test

Have a great night!

Wednesday

We will be taking our unit 4 math test tomorrow.  We reviewed yesterday and today in class, and the study guides have been sent home.  Please make sure that your child reviews the study guides.

Homework for tonight:

• Read for 20 minutes
• Practice Fluency
• Nightly math practice
• Study spelling and vocabulary words
• Review for math test

Have a great night!

Tuesday

We are off and running with a new week.  It is a regular week, so there is nightly reading, fluency, and nightly math homework each night this week.  We also started a new story in Reading Street, so there will be a spelling test, vocabulary test, and a reading comprehension test on Friday.


In math we are finishing up unit 4.  We started to review for the math test today.  I sent home the study guide we used.  We will complete another study guide tomorrow in class and take the test on Thursday.  We will begin unit 5 (on decimals) after the Thanksgiving Break.


This week we continue to learn about rocks and minerals.  I will send home a study guide next week and take the science test probably on Wednesday. 


I look forward to talking with  you during conferences tonight and next Monday.


Have a good night.

Tuesday

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather today.  I just wanted to make sure that you saw that I sent home conference papers yesterday.  Please mark which night of conferences works best for you and return the slip tomorrow so I can schedule a time!


Enjoy the rest of the day!

Week of November 4-11

• Just a reminder that we do not have school tomorrow (Election Day) or Friday (Veteran's Day).
• There is no nightly reading, fluency, or nightly math this week since we are only together for three days!
• All grade reading tests were sent home today.  Check out to see how your child did!
• Report cards will be going home on Thursday.  Today I sent home the conference forms.  Please select which date you would like, and return on Wednesday!
• We are not doing a story this week in Reading Street-so we will not have a spelling test, reading comprehension, or vocabulary test this week.
• In math, we continue to work on multiplication.
• The kids took a practice subtraction fact test on Friday.  I sent home the graded fact tests today.  I will give another subtraction fact test on Thursday.  They have to be able to answer 48 out of 50 of the facts in 5 minutes!

Have a great week!
