Good day parents,
I hope you are staying dry on this rainy Wednesday. We are staying dry and learning a lot today. Here are some updates.
This week we are working on multiplication. We are learning how to multiply 2-3 digit numbers by 1-2 digit numbers. Tomorrow, we will be working on multiplication arrays. On Friday of this week, we will complete our post-test of the 1st nine weeks. We learned so much this nine weeks. We learned how to multiply, how to recognize numbers in various forms, we learned how to complete input and output tables, and how to order numbers. Now, we are ready to assess our progress. This assessment is a measure of progress this far for the nine weeks, but is not counted as a grade. We will begin our second nine weeks math unit next week. Our new unit will help the students learn division, multiplication properties, and Geometry.
In Language Arts, the students will learn how to respond to literature, how to properly use conventions, and how to utilize the appropriate steps to the writing process. Please encourage your child to write at home everyday.
In Science this week, we are learning about weather and weather patterns. The students will have a vocabulary test on Friday. We are reading books on weather in small group and will take a quiz next Tuesday over the books the students have read. Please encourage them to study their vocabulary words each day.
In Writing, the students finished their first piece of narrative writing and published it. Now, we are working on our second piece of narrative writing.
In current news in our class, we will be taking our first field trip on October 16th to the Cobb Youth Museum. Our next field trip will be to the Cobb county fire safety village. We will go on November 16th. Permission forms will be sent home in Thursday folders. Please check your child's Thursday folder every Thursday. This is our weekly communication with you on your child's progress.
Please sign your child's reading log and agenda each night. Several students are coming to school each day, without their reading log signed. Please remind your child to complete his/her homework everyday and read on the weekends. Also, each child should bring a healthy snack to school each day!
Thank you for all you do! Have a wonderful week!
Ms. S. Johnson and Mrs. C. Johnson
