Hello!
Thanks for your patience during this very strange short week. I had some surgery done on Wednesday, so I was at school only two short days.
Math: We are working on practicing mental math with addition and subtraction. I am working with students one-on-one to assess their abilities and give them tips and tricks. Any time this can be reinforced at home would be fantastic. The smallest skill building moments, especially with money and time, is a tremendous help. Examples of items students are assessed on: 423 + 99 (students are encourages to think of 423 + 100, then subtract one because they added one too many).
Social Studies: We studied the settlement experiences and contributions of African Americans in the history of our country. We are looking at having a test on Chapter 3 sometime next week. Stay tuned!
Literacy block: Students have their own SMART Goals that they are working to achieve this week. Ask them how they are doing with their goals. There is no Handwriting assignment this week, but we will begin Week 17 next week. We completed rotations on Friday and worked on hitting the sentence pattern targets for sentences beginning with adverbs.
No mark charts this weekend.
