100s club -  .... and the new 100s club members are.....? Keep studying!!!  THIS IS A GOAL FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. I will send home previous texts this week so you can see their progress. As reading calendars end, please pick up math facts and give them one final push to achieve the goal of 100 facts in 6 min. on paper. (Verbally, it should be 100 facts in 5 min.)
 

Math class- standard  vs. non- standard measurement of weight - We are in the final stretch and finishing up parts of the curriculum. There are chapters that we only have to complete a few lessons from, so the chapter will be short and sweet. If you wish to provide your child with some enrichment, feel free to use the extra pages at your discretion.  After this chapter, we will be touching upon the basic understandings of multiplication and division.
 
SCIENCE! 
THIS WEEK- Mrs. Gwiazdowski will be their special science teacher this week.
