Weekly Update

 Hi Parents!

VA Studies Chapter 3 Study Guide:

The study guide for chapter 3- Jamestown went home earlier this week in your child’s Take Home Folder. Please make sure they are studying this a little each night. This chapter contains so much information and needs to be reviewed at home as well as at school. The test for chapter 3 is scheduled for December 15th. 

Yearbook Contest:

The annual yearbook cover contest has begun! The instructions and guidelines went home today in your child’s Take Home Folder. Please make sure to read through those thoroughly if you would like to enter. This is an optional contest and all submissions are due to Ms. Lightweis by December 8th. 

Spelling:

Your child has new spelling words. The next spelling test is Friday, December 10th. 

Virginia Studies Weekly Payment:

The Online School Payment Portal has finally opened. Please make sure to go on and pay for your child’s Virginia Studies Weekly Newspaper. These were noted on the supply list and we have already begun to receive and use them. You can log on from the Hutchison Farm website, or use this direct link. The newspapers are $8.15 per student. Please make sure that you have selected me, Kristen Rivera as the teacher, so your payment is processed under our class. 

Focus Areas for the Week After Break:

• Reading:  Nonfiction- We will look at how to take notes and practice our note taking skills with various nonfiction books and our VA Studies textbook.

• Math:  We will continue working on multiplication. The students will be able to solve 2x1, 2x2, and 3x1 multiplication problems using the standard algorithm and partial products. 

 Please make sure your child is memorizing their  multiplication facts!!

• Virginia Studies:  We will continue with Chapter 3- Jamestown

As always, I welcome your questions, comments, and feedback.
