January 17 - 20, 2012

NEWS FOR PARENTS:


**DIBELS results were great!  Your child's score was included with report cards last week... Keep up the hard work!

GOTCHA party is this Friday...  We are working hard to earn 6 GOTCHAS!




Student of the Week:


READING:

This week we will review skills from Unit 3 and complete the Unit 3 Test.  We are working hard to read good AR books, record information correctly, and make great scores on AR tests.  Read your AR book at home every night!  


SPELLING:

Students will review, and emphasis will be placed on misspelled words from this unit.

**Remember: If there is ONE error (spelling/capitalization/punctuation) in the dictation sentence, the whole sentence will be marked incorrect and 5 points will be subtracted from test score.


GRAMMAR:  Review and test Unit 3.  This includes completing the Writing Assessment.


MATH:  Our class will finish telling time to the minute, and will begin counting money.  We are identifying and counting quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.  


**PARENTS!  Please help your child by placing coins on the table.  Students are learning how to put coins in order from greatest to least, then "count on" or "add on" to find the total.


**ALSO, remember to work hard on addition and subtraction facts.  Subtraction fact drill, 3 minutes, is for a grade.  Addition fact drill, 5 minutes and 100 problems, is for practice this nine weeks.  Use flash cards, CD's with music, games, etc., to learn your facts well!




SOCIAL SCIENCE: Our class is learning about maps, globes, and continents.
