Reading
Math
The students have been working at their own pace in Frontrowed.com and have been doing beautifully. They are working on achieving mastery in all concepts in Numbers in Base Ten (Rounding, Add/Sub within 1000, and Multiplication Strategies), Geometry (Naming Quadrilaterals and their attributes), Measurement and Data (Finding Perimeter), and Numbers in Base 10 (Beginning Multiplication Strategies).
We are also working on Multiplication Madness. The students are taking daily timed tests on the various fact families. We will be celebrating our learning on February 14th with an ice cream social.
Homework
As usual 20 minutes of reading is the most important part of homework. Reading for 20 minutes a day is the best way to increase vocabulary and comprehension skills.
The second part of homework is math. There are several options for math practice at home. Any of the following are an excellent way to practice math at home:
1) Prodigy for 15 to 20 minutes 3 times a week
2) Front Row Ed Targeted Practice one assignment
3) Front Row Ed Adaptive Practice for 15 to 20 minutes 3 times a week
4) Multiplication games that we have learned in class (You will need cards to play these)
We are also working hard to improve our informational writing skills and will soon be moving onto opinion writing.
Thank you for all of your support and have a fabulous week!
