Math-
We are starting Geometry, then moving to Area and Perimeter, which we went over prior to the CTP testing. Please check for understanding of concepts each day.
Please spend no more than 10 minutes on mental math and continue to work on math fact mastery at home. There will be a math facts assessment on 4/23/18.
Handwriting-
Continue to watch for proper letter formation of cursive and print letters at home. Practice the specific letters your child is struggling with. We will be frequently taking a grade for handwriting assignments.
IEW-
Thank you co-teachers for pointed out that A Special Person and A Special Day were due at the same time. We will be allowing time to finish both reports this week. Students will be able to use their own ideas using all of the concepts that they have learned, including writing in neat cursive. Please have students bring a couple of their favorite IEW papers, to share.
Reading-
We continue in Little Pilgrim’s progress, an allegory detailing the journey of Christian and Christiana from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. This book is rich with spiritual content, and we encourage you to read this book along with your child and discuss. We look forward to our class discussions. Mrs. Emmons has shared information on a video that goes along with this book so we are hoping to incorporate it soon.
Memory-
We are currently working on Matthew 5:1-9, Song of the Settlers quarter 4 poem, British Isles map and song.
Science-
There will now be a heavy concentration on the science projects. We want each person to well prepared and present well to classmates, family and friends on May 2!
Field Trip Update
Mrs. Torres and her 3rd grade class have also been invited to the Mad Science and Bullock Museum day out! This will result in the cost coming down for each student. We think that the new cost will be $12.00 per student. Those that have already paid will receive a refund of the balance.
