Hello again Families,
I hope you are enjoying the long weekend. Just a couple of quick updates...
Math: We will be continuing Unit 2 in the upcoming week, with a test likely at the end of the week, possibly Thursday or Friday. Your students have a Problem Solving Packet with them and hopefully they explained that I told them I wanted 2 questions completed for Monday. I also said that if they had the time, I would like all of them to try to challenge themselves to complete all 5 problems for Monday. Please encourage them to try some different strategies for solving these, including drawing a picture or making a table.
Spelling: We took our Spelling Pre-Test earlier this week. Starting next week, we will start our word work with breaking down words into Word Patterns, Syllables, Affixes, and Derivational Relations. Look forward to helping your students learn their new words soon.
Keyboarding: We have started our Keyboarding unit in the computer lab. Please encourage your students at home to practice, remembering to not look at their fingers, while they might be on a home computer. We have discussed the immense benefit of polishing their typing skills before they get to older grades.
Thank you to everyone for coming to conferences. It was great to see some of you again, and meet some of you for the first time. Your children are very lucky to have such supportive families around them.
As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Scott
