Reading and Writing
In reading this week we have really been trying to reflect on our reading either for the week, the day or making goals for the entire school year. Including reflecting and making goals we talked about how we can increase our reading endurance and stamina.
We additionally took a reading test called DRP to find out how well we can read.
In writing this week we have been generating ways to get an idea for a narrative and after that planting seeds of narratives. After we have planted many seeds we are going to pick the best one to work through the writing process with.
Math, Science and Number Corner
This week in math we logged on to Fastt Math for the first time this year and we heard from Mr. Madden about the importance of knowing our facts (we want to put facts in long term memory). We also made generalizations about the patterns we saw in cube sequences. Our hard work paid off with the creation of an algebraic expression!!! Also, we are moving into multiplication arrays and observations. Ask your child about the commutative properties of multiplication (challenge them to say commutative 10 times fast :-} ).
No science yet!!!
In number corner this week we made a graph to represent the penny toss data we have. We also have been problem solving.
Other Important News and Events
-Many kids have tried to log into their school email and can’t. That’s because the school has reset everyone’s gmail password to shelburne. Please pass this on to your child if you hear them say they can’t log in. We haven’t done it in school yet this year.
-Permission Slip came home today for the Shelburne Farms field trip which will take place next Friday. We still need 3 more chaperones if you’re available!
-Endeavor is participating in the annual Hike for Hunger on September 28th! Students can participate by walking with us, donating to a walker, or sending in perishable food items for the Shelburne Food Shelf! Please help out this great cause! http://www.razoo.com/team/Hikeforhunger2013
