Here's what's happening in our classroom in Literacy, Math, and Science...as well as some upcoming events.
1. Literacy:
a) Reading: envisioning/predicting (what and why); continuing practising to check for comprehension; re-telling; word attack skills
b) Writing: writing proper paragraphs using a "hamburger model"
2. Math: Addition and Subtraction of 2 and 3 digit numbers
a) Solve problems involving the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, using a variety of mental strategies
b) Add and subtract three-digit numbers, using concrete materials, student-generated algorithms, and standard algorithms
c) Use estimation when solving problems involving addition and subtraction, to help judge the reasonableness of a solution
3. Science: Continuing our investigations regarding Forces Causing Movement
HOMEWORK:
1. Please return a signed copy of the progress report and the envelope as we re-use them throughout the year.
2. 20 minutes of reading every night at home, and writing it in the Reading Logs
3. Math homework will come home on Wednesdays and will be due on Fridays.
4. Occasionally, other homework may be sent home either because your child needs some extra practice or your child didn't complete it in class.
