The weather is changing…

It is getting colder in Utah.  Our class has a morning recess at 10:10 for 15 min.  Also, they have to lineup outside in the morning at 8:30.  Please send them with a coat/jacket.  By lunch, it has warmed up, and most of them don’t take coats outside for this break.   I wear mine for morning recess.  I want them to wear one too.  

We are working on Wonders Unit#2 Week 2 this week.  Please print that study guide out for reference to use through the week.  Also, we are going to do a painting project.  Please send an old shirt for them to wear as a smock (if they haven’t already brought one).  Have it at the school by Tuesday so we can get Art underway the next day.  

In math we are working on multiplication problems.  Last week we learned different ways to multiply a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number.  This week we are learning how to multiply a 4-digit number by a 2-digit number.  About half of our class is struggling with multiplication facts.  This is an important skill to have.  They need to memorize these (1X up to 12X).  Please get your child a deck of multiplication cards or an app to practice with.  If they have these learned, the rest of the year will be easier and fun.  Thanks in advance!

Book report presentations are due in one week.  I will post a presentation schedule at the end of the week.  If you have questions, let me know.  You can also request a day you would prefer to have them present.  

The end of the quarter is also next week.  Please, remind your student to complete all of their homework.  Even if it is late, it is better than not done at all.
