ELA- We are working on Scarcity this week and will move on to Breman Town Musicians at the end of the week. It's been a couple of crazy weeks, but we will get back to our regular schedule by next week.
Math- Tomorrow and Wednesday we will be reviewing Topic 4, then we will take the assessment on addition strategies 0-100. Topic 5 covers subtraction strategies. Remember to encourage your kiddo to work on Reflex Math! Being fluent in basic math facts takes the stress off your child when they are working on longer algorithms.
Science- We are discussing habitats and how plants and animals adapt to survive in their environments. This Wednesday I will be working with our school EdTech to introduce Google Slides to the class (Google's version of PowerPoint). I am super excited, partly because it is science, and partly because it is a new technology tool being introduced to the class!!!
Halloween- Tomorrow morning we will have our school Halloween parade. Students should come already dressed in their costumes, with learning clothes underneath. Masks and weapons (fake ones too) will not be allowed on school grounds. Our Halloween party will be from 1:15-2:15 with some fun activities planned by our energetic room parents! Please check your child's backpack on Wednesday morning to look for "stowaway" candy. Strange how it gets there, since every child I have ever asked shrugs their shoulders and says that they don't know how it got there.....hmmmmm. :-)
Thank you,
Ms. Stroud
