Jump Rope for Heart envelopes are due on Tuesday to Mrs. Spaulding. Friday is the sock hop for JRFH in the gym. The theme is the '80's. Please make sure you child wears clothing they can jump rope in.
We have been preparing for ISTEP this week. Thursday we went to the computer lab to practice typing the response to a question. The kids did a really good job. Today we went through some of their responses and talked about what they can do to make their writing better. I think they like typing more than writing. If you have any time in the next couple of weeks have the kids get on those ISTEP websites that were sent to you a few weeks ago and have them practice using all the tools. We will be doing the practice ISTEP this week, most likely on Thursday morning. Nothing to stress about, just practice. The kids will have the opportunity to see what it really is going to be like.
In math this week, we have been working on division. The students have been introduced to a couple different ways of solving these problems. It's still a work in progress, but we are making some headway. Please help your child study and learn their multiplication facts. Next week we will go back to Unit 5 to finish that unit which will then lead us into the remainder of Unit 6. (Geometry and Angles)
In Language Arts we are continuing to work on Fairy Tales and what features make up a fairy tail. Several of the kids are picking up their reading for our Reading Challenge. I think their might be a competition going on among some of the kids. Keep encouraging them to read at home and ask them questions about what they are reading.
We will have our spelling test on Tuesday, the words should be written in their assignment book.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I'll see all the kids on Tuesday.
Mrs. Whitworth
