The boys and girls did a great job with the first spelling assignment. We will have spelling again this week. In addition to spelling, please continue to have your student study his or her math facts for ten minutes a night. He or she should be studying addition, subtraction and multiplication. The boys and girls will continue to receive mad minutes to help practice fluency in class; however, additional practice at home is needed.
We are going to continue working with multiplication this week in math. We learned that the numbers in the multiplication equation are called the factors and the answer is called the product. We also learned the communitive, associative, identity and distributive properties.
We are also going to continue with nonfiction this week. We have been studying nonfiction text features and how they can help us comprehend the text. We will begin talking about comparing and contrasting information gathered through nonfiction reading.
Room 2 would like to congratulate Anish for being this week’s Star Student. Anish has been working extremely hard. He has learned the importance of making good choices, being a leader in the classroom and always putting forth his best efforts for all assignments. Congratulations Anish, Room 2 is proud of you!
Warmly,
Miss Pantalena
