In Math this week we started focusing very hard on our multiplication and division operations. Some of you may notice that your child is taking the multiplication fast fact tests on Fridays now. As they master them they will move to division and then back to subtraction. It is important that every student learns the proper words for these two operations. We are focusing on factors, product, prime numbers, composite numbers, quotient, divisor, dividend, factor pairs, fact families, number sentences, open sentences, and variables. Just to name a few.
We continue to work on learning about our government.
In Language Arts - it is important that your child read daily. I have provided a November calendar for recording their minutes. This calendar and their November handwriting packet are due on December 4th.
- In reading we are working on informational text and using information from them to write persuasive papers.
- In writing we have finished our scary stories and they are hanging in the hallway. We will be starting Thankful Poems this coming Monday. They will hopefully be in the hallway before conferences but... These poems are an interesting twist on what we are thankful for.
