Happy Snow Day! I hope everyone is staying warm. This is going to be a cold week ahead. Please bundle up and dress for the weather, especially anyone that walks to school. Due to the short week last week, we are slightly behind with our testing. Therefore, I am planning on giving the NWEA math test Tuesday morning and completing the many make-up tests on Wednesday. We are still finalizing DRA testing as well, so it will be another fun week of tests. We will be back to our normal spelling this week, so expect new words and a test on Friday. We will start multiplication timed tests. We will start Tuesday with the zeros, ones, and twos. Students get one minute to complete 20 problems. They must get them all correct to move on to the next test. By the end of the year they need to know all facts up to 10. Practicing with flashcards for a few minutes each day is a great way to study the facts. Report cards came home on Friday. Please sign the envelope for card marking two and send back to school. You may keep the report card. Here is our plan for this week.
Math: We are working on learning multiplication facts using the distributive and commutative properties.
Science: We will be investigating condensation and exploring how it fits in with the water cycle.
Social Studies: We will be learning how entrepreneurs use natural, capital, and human resources to manufacture goods. We will also explore the concepts of scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost.
Reading: We will be describing characters and analyzing how their actions contribute to the sequence of events in a story.
Writing: We will continue planning our opinion essays by adding more details to our planning sheet.
Have a great week and stay warm!
