I have had a problem updating the site with classroom news, but it is now working! Below is an update on a couple classroom happenings:
In Math, the students have been working very hard mastering the multiplication facts. It is extremely important that students know all of the facts from 0-12. Timed tests have been given to test the students on this skill. If your child received a log sheet, please make sure to practice the multiplication facts on a daily basis.
In Reading we finished Unit 1. We are going to be reading a novel, The Family Under the Bridge together in class and at home. Along with reading the story, the students will be focusing on new vocabulary, the literary elements, improving comprehension, as well as other skills.
The second quarter reading assignment is to choose a chapter book of at least 70 pages to read. A graphic organizer packet must be completed and turned in no later than December 15th.
Our first field trip is scheduled for Monday, December 1, 2008. Information regarding the trip was sent home last week. Permission slips are due by Wednesday, November 19th. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please check off the box on the permission slip. Chaperones will be randomly picked from those that volunteered and notified on Thursday, November 20th.
