Report Cards

Report cards for the 1st trimester will be sent home this week.  Please return the signed envelope to school with your child.

 

Cold Weather

Now that we are getting into colder weather patterns, please check the weather so that your child has the necessary clothing--boots (when there is snow on the ground), hats, coats, and gloves/mittens--to be going out for recess.  We do go out most days unless it is raining or below zero wind chills!

 

Multiplication Facts

Please continue weekly multiplication fact practice from home.  We started with the 0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, but will now continue on to 3’s and 4’s.   We are working on these in class, but many students will benefit from additional practice at home.  Resources to use include:  IXL F Skills, Flashcards, using items at home to make equal groups (for our more visual learners) examples would be: pennies, beads, popsicle sticks, etc.

 

Positivity Project Character Strength:  Gratitude

This week’s character strength is gratitude.  You are aware of and thankful for good things that happen in your life.

 

What we are learning this week!

Math- Unit 3:  Adding/Subtracting within 1,000

Reading- Sequence of Events

Word Study - Irregular Plurals

Writing- Thanksgiving Writing
