Dear Parents,
Signed papers are going home tomorrow, 9/8. Please review them with your child and sign and return by the end of the week. Thanks in advance!
We are finishing up our Democracy unit
although students will continue to learn about Paul Revere and the American
Revolution in Ms. Borrelli’s reading class.
Next, we are moving into learning about the Habitats of Georgia
(Mountain, Piedmont , Coastal Plain, Wetlands, and Atlantic Ocean ). Your student
has already had an introduction to habitats in the STEAM lab where students
paired up and took photos of habitats around the school on our iPads, then
added text and other information using the app ThingLink. The kids thought it was so cool and did a
great job!
In
Math, we are finishing up Unit 1 in which we have explored place value and
rounding, adding and subtracting three-digit numbers, graphs, measurement to
the nearest inch, ½ inch, and ¼ inch, and strategies for solving two-step word
problems. Ask your student about being a
detective and solving word problems using some of the “clue” words that let us
know whether we will add or subtract to solve.
Please have your student work regularly on iReady and IXL in Math to
keep reviewing these skills!! Our Unit 1
Math test is scheduled for Wednesday, 9/16.
Next in Math, we will be moving into
multiplication and division. We will
start by understanding that multiplication is simply repeated addition and how
to represent multiplication using arrays (visuals). We will then explore how multiplication and
division are related, inverse operations.
Our ultimate goal beyond these understandings is that your child will be
able to fluently multiply and divide within 100. Your support will help your student learn
his/her facts more quickly – you can get some flashcards from the Dollar Tree
to help your student practice for 10 minutes nightly.
Thanks in advance for your support! Please let me know if you have any questions
or concerns.
