Topic 5 in Envisions has been using strategies we learned to add to subtract like 100's chart, open number line and break-apart. We will take the Topic 5 Assessment after the break. We will also be completing the review sheet in school and sending it home then to review any missed skills/questions. Topic 6 is a continuation of subtraction so we will continue to practice and review 2 digit subtraction with and without borrowing.
Our biography unit is here to STAY! Students had time to explore
many different famous Americans. Hopefully next week, we will be choosing the
individuals that students will be researching and presenting at February's Wax
Museum. All of the research and writing will happen at school! But I will let you
know who your child has chosen. This week, we learned about Rosa Parks and
completed a timeline of her life. Students will be making a timeline to go
along with their person.
A technology skill
that we have been practicing in the classroom and computer lab is Google Docs.
The students are LOVING it! Next week, we will have a class set of Chrome books
to use in the morning which we are excited for!
Upcoming Events:
* Student Council is still collecting items for Kisses From Heaven. HERE is some more information.
* Marco Pizza Night is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, November 29th. This is 2nd-4th grade pizza night so pizza orders will come in boxes decorated by the students. So by Tuesday, you will be sick of leftovers but still not want to have to cook! Pizza it is!
* Just 2 days next week! Thanksgiving break is from Wednesday, November 23rd to Sunday, November 27th. I am very thankful for you and your children.
