Happy Sunday! Here are the updates for this upcoming week.
Book report for the Famous American is due this Friday, Feb. 1st. It was a 2 page packet sent home before Winter Break that consists of 1) The Title of the book 2) 5 interesting facts, and 3) a short 4-6 sentence summary about their chosen famous American. If your child needs a copy of this, please send me an email and I will be sure to send one home on Monday. A few students have already turned theirs in. Oral presentations will not be until the last week in March (right before Spring Break). Over the next few weeks, we will begin the writing process. Another letter explaining the project will be sent home in a few weeks. We wanted kids to get a head start and gather some information before we began trying to work on the presentations in class. I may be asking for additional volunteers during this time also. I'll keep you posted!
A "regular" spelling packet for Nights of the Pufflings will be due this Friday. We also finished up Geometry last week and are working on Chapter 12, division. Students who know their multiplication facts are understanding the concept easily. I have given them several ways to work it out (i.e. drawing arrays, picture groups, repeated subtraction, and fact families). Please encourage your children to use whatever method works for them.
That's all for now. Hope you are enjoying the beautiful day!
Wish list: Wipes and pencils :)
