I hope that you all enjoyed your week with your family. I sure did.
This week in math the grade three's are working hard with money, and the grade four's continue to work on multiplication (1 digit x 2 digit). Mr. Hart is coming in on Thursday to guest teach neat multiplication strategies to the grade four class while the grade threes and I do ELA with the grade eight's.
We are working on literature circle roles this week and will then be applying these skills to a novel study beginning next week. There will be three novels going on in class at one time. If you happen to be a mom or dad who has a flexible schedule and can commit an hour a couple of times over the next two or three weeks to be a helper in the classroom please let me know and I will fill you in on the times and how you can help out.
We are also spending a lot of time learning how to write a paragraph and how to format a story as a collection of paragraphs - this is more difficult that you would think.
We will be moving into division as a way of sharing in math next week and then onto fractions from there.
We have library next Monday - please send books back.
Continue to practice those math facts - even addition and subtraction facts are still slow - the faster your child is with these, the easier more complex math will be for them.
Looking forward to parent teacher interviews at the end of the month. Please call if you have questions before then.
