This week is going to be an exciting one! We are beginning Learning Centers and Guided Reading! The students are extremely excited to play learning games and work together in teams.
In addition, grading will begin this week. For the last two weeks, students were assessed on their oral and written language, as well as their reading comprehension. Now we are ready focus on specific grammar and reading skills!
In Math, we will be continuing to practice addition, subtraction and place-value. In addition, students will practice calculating Math problems in their heads (instead of using fingers). A great website students can use at home is http://www.mathsisfun.com/ Many of the games can be reproduced and used off the computer.
Homework should take approximately 45 minutes. Please let me know via e-mail if your child takes longer so that I may assist them or adjust the workload!
