Odds and Ends...

This Week's Academics
MUR - This week we will be reading the folktale "White Wave". We will really be looking at the characters in the story and comparing and contrasting them along with looking at the plot of the story and working on sequencing. Along with the story we will work out of our Wordly Wise books which focus on vocabulary and also out of our Analytical Grammar books where we have already started working with nouns, adjectives, and articles.
Spelling and Concept Question Board homework will be sent home on Monday and is due Friday. This will occur every week, unless we have a week that is shorter than 4 days.
MUM - This week we will continue to work on multiples and start getting into three digit by two digit multiplication. I would really appreciate if you work with your child on their multiplication facts each night. Most students have not mastered their facts higher than 5s. Memorizing their facts 6-9 will help them with the skills we will be working on the rest of the school year. Each student made flashcards for 6-9 in class last week that they should have brought home to work with. If you have not seen these flashcards, let me know!
