What a busy week!! Our class handled all of the changes in schedule very well. I'm happy to report that next week will be a regular week. We are just hoping for a little sunshine. We will be back to Reading Street. Unit 4 looks very interesting with some mysteries as a new genre for us. Students will be back to spelling and vocabulary as well. I can't wait to do some comparing and contrasting for our target skill. During the review unit, I gave the students a novel to read. Those were finished today. On Monday, I am giving them a fun "book report" to do on the book. Those will be due on Tuesday, March 8, 2011. I am looking forward to seeing their creative sides and artwork.
Math has had its ups and downs this quarter. I completed additional intervention on Unit 5 with estimation and multiplication last week. Please keep reviewing rounding with your child. The Unit 6 test on long division was much better. We are going to go over the test on Monday. I was very impressed with their division. March is bringing a new math unit. We will start Unit 7 on Tuesday. This unit will start with fractions.
Stay warm and dry!
