Slow as molasses in January.
We had an exciting morning due to the Patriot's big win last night. The class was elated! We can't wait for the Super Bowl!
Students played Salute during math class this morning. It's an awesome game that practices multiplication and division facts. Please ask your child the rules so you can play at home. Other lessons this week include the use of square products to find products of near squares, making sense of and solving number stories, and decomposing factors to solve multiplication facts. Students will have a Home Link each night for homework.
Our spelling rule this week involves the suffix endings ed and ing. Students will have a spelling assignment on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Please help your child study for his or her test on Thursday night.
We will continue with our Simple Machine Unit this week. Students will study the six basic machines and their many uses. Some of the vocabulary words we are working on include fulcrum, force, load and friction. Information about our upcoming Simple Machine Project will go home on Tuesday afternoon. This is an optional activity. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Scholastic book orders are due on January 28th. Our classroom code is HB244.
Have a fabulous week! :)
