Curriculum Updates
Writing- The students are currently finishing up drafting their Personal Narratives! I can't wait to begin the editing and publishing process!
Math- We took a quiz last week that will be coming home this week for parents to look over. We will be tested over Unit 1 this coming week. The unit test covers multiplication and division story problems and solving equations. Continue to practice flashcards with your child; it is essential that your child memorizes their facts. Our math curriculum builds upon students knowing their facts.
MobyMax-Our October contest focuses on Math. Students who earn at least 500 points will receive a very special treat from Mrs. Haagsma. I give the students time during the week to practice on MobyMax, but the goal of 500 points will only be achievable by putting in extra math practice at home. Your child should have their passwords memorized and will work at home as well. Our school code is mi2934.
Science- We wrapped up our Plant Unit with a Plant Quiz! These will be sent home this week as well. Our next unit is Animal Classification and Adaptations.
Reading Workshop- The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane continues to be our Mentor Text during Reading Workshop. The students are following Edward's journey by creating timelines in their Reading Notebooks and working on making connections to the text.
