Great day!

Today was a great day! The children worked really hard in Science, Math and Reading. We went to the science lab and continued making hypotheses and learning about position words and motion. You will want to ask your child about the blocks. We read an interesting Native American myth about how the length of day and night came to be. Ask about the ant and the why he has a skinny waist. We have begun Unit w in math. You will see by the parent letter that came home tonight that we will study fact families, fact extensions, input and output machines, ways to organize word problems to make them easier to solve, ballpark estimates and the counting up method of solving two and three digit subtraction problems. We will begin our new class novel, The Chalkbox Kid.

Homework is as follows:

Reading: Comprehension Activity .... Ant and Bear
Math: Workbook page 31 and Home Link page 35
Science: Complete activity sheet on Motion
Continue to study spelling words and look over the reading vocabulary sheet with the words, mingle, documents, pennants etc.....
