A big thank you to all parents who were able to attend our Parent Teacher Conferences and came to enjoy the students' Presentations they have been diligently working on. We had a wonderful turn-out in Room #1. We have such a wonderful classroom of students and GREAT Parents!!
Language Arts:
The story this week is a comparison story about Dinosaur Bob and Fugitives on Four Legs. It is the last story in Theme 4 (Incredible Stories). We will be working on skills we have already learned this past 6-weeks such as using verbs in the Past and Present; Commas in addresses, dates, and a series; format of a friendly letter and using prefixes. There is a big spelling test at the end of the week which addresses all of the spelling patterns we have been learning over the past 6 weeks:
word sound clear also soft crown crack lawn girl knew here turn dark
north orange her skin hear squeeze gym second jeans our hour knew
Technology:
The PowerPoint Presentations were a huge success. Students in Harry Potter Room #1 are going to start back up with FasttMath and Compass Learning. We would like all students to have mastered their addition facts by the end of the year and well into their subtraction facts.
Math:
We continue to learn our multiplication fact patterns. So far we have learned multiplication with 0, 1, 2, 5, 9, and 10. We practice a lot in between. Please practice at home with your child. A good website to visit is math-drills.com. Their are a variety of worksheets for all math computation skills available on this site.
Social Studies:
We would like to finish up our Arctic Unit this week. We have been learning about our friends in the North and their way of life. We have learned what kind of clothes they wear, what kind of food they eat, the type of transportation they use, and their way of life. The Unit Exam will be on Friday.
