Dear Parents,
You may have heard
that we are doing a unit of study about the Olympics! Since the Sochi Olympics start this week, please have your student watch bits
and pieces as the weeks go on. Particularly, please let them watch the event
of their chosen athlete. I know the
network will only show the main competitors and maybe NOT our chosen athlete,
but watching will give the students a sense of what it is all about. We
will be doing our mock Olympics starting Thursday with the “Opening Ceremony”. This month is also Valentine’s Day (just in
case you didn’t know !). I have sent home a list of all the students
in our class. Of course, no one is
required to participate, but if you’d like to send Valentines, please send one
for each of the students in the class.
Homework:
Spelling: Lesson 20.
We will be looking at plurals this week. Test and workbook are due Friday as usual.
Math: Please continue to work with your student on
math facts. We are testing division
facts. If your student still
struggles with the multiplication facts, they will struggle with division as
well. Keep working on facts. Mastery of facts is so important that 25%
of their grade in math is math fact mastery. A Ken
Ken is included with this missive and it is due Friday as well. Remember it is 10 points, 5 points or 0
points. NO LATE KEN KENS WILL BE
ACCEPTED from here on!
Social Studies: The February Passport test is Thursday, February 27th . In addition, we will be testing
on the names and capitals of all of the 13 colonies on Thursday, February 6th (rather than Wednesday as I previously stated).
The students will need to fill in the colony names, the postal code, and
capital city on a blank map. The maps
that they completed in class should have come home today.
Reading: The book report for this month is a game based
on the book they read this month. We
talked about this in class today and included with this letter is more
details. It is due on the 28th, but can be
turned in whenever your student finishes a book this month. We will have game
day on Monday!! The reading calendar is due EOM plus 2 days.
