Tuesday, September 11, 2012

In Christian Studies, we talked about who God is and the different traits he has.  In Math, we worked on identifying place values up to the thousands place and writing numbers in standard, word, and expanded forms:

Standard:  1, 256
Word:  One thousand two hundred fifty-six
Expanded:  1,000 + 200 + 50 + 6

If your child is having trouble with the math homework tonight, you can follow the livebinder link on this blog to access the Math Connects website for some extra help.  If you still have trouble, have your child let me know tomorrow morning so I can help them out. 

In Reading, we had a mini-lesson over different elements of a mystery:  clue, crime, evidence, suspect, detective, victim, and witness.  The students started reading a mystery called Nate the Great:  San Francisco Detective in partners.  It's a long one, so they'll finish it up tomorrow!  In Writing, the students started filling in an outline for a personal narrative they will write.  Ask your child what they chose for their topic! 

In Social Studies, we completed study guides of the continents and oceans, which the students are bringing home today.  They will have a quiz on Thursday, and it will look just like their study guide.  In Music, we sang the song "Celebrate Music" that we listened to last week.  It was fun seeing the students different dances for different parts of the song!

The Reading MAP test has been rescheduled for this Friday morning. 

Homework for today is...
Math worksheet
Read for 20 minutes
