Weekly Update!

 Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break. It was nice to have some slower days and spend some much needed time with my children. Please see below for a couple of updates for this week. 

Out Friday:

I will be out this coming Friday, December 1st for an appointment. I have secured a nice sub who has subbed for me before. I have no doubt the class will be in good hands! Please speak to your students about showing the 3R’s while she is there.

Multiplication Facts:

Our next unit in math will be the multiplication unit. In this unit the students will solve 2x2 multiplication problems. It would be helpful if before we got there, your child had their multiplication facts to 12 memorized. To be honest, this will make all the future units a lot easier as we make our way into long division and factors and multiples. 

Winter Virginia Growth Assessment (VGA):

We will be taking the Math VGA on Tuesday, November 28th and the Reading VGA on Friday, December 8th. Please make sure your child comes to school with their Chromebook charged. 

 Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

•  Math:  We will begin our unit on Multiplication. We will learn how to multiply two digit numbers by two digits. 

• Science: We will learn about weather and weather instruments. 

VA Studies: We will continue our 3rd chapter- Jamestown. The test is tentatively set for Wednesday, December 6th.

Weekly Update for the Next Two Weeks

 Hi Everyone!

Friday we celebrated Veterans Day at school. We had the most beautiful and touching ceremony to honor all our past and present veterans. It was such a touching tribute.

Multiplication Facts:

Our next unit in math will be the multiplication unit. In this unit the students will solve 2x2 multiplication problems. It would be helpful if before we get there, your child had their multiplication facts to 12 memorized. To be honest, this will make all the future units a lot easier as we make our way into long division and factors and multiples. 

No School:

There is no school on Monday, November 13th due to Diwali. I wish you a happy Diwali if you celebrate. 

 Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

•  Math:  We will begin subtracting numbers into the millions and across zeros using multiple strategies. 

• Science: We will be integrating science into our reading and writing and read some passages about being a scientist, while completing comprehension questions. 

• VA Studies: We will continue our 3rd chapter- Jamestown. The study guide and flashcards went home last week. 

This was just a short update to cover both this week and next leading up to Thanksgiving break. The next update will come before we return from break.
