Today in class we did a TON of math (practicing adding 2 digit numbers like 39 + 87 and even some 3 digit numbers like 235+395) The students who are not solid on their mental math skills had a hard time with this. Please practice flashcards at home if you think your child does not have his/her facts memorized yet. We practice them at school and we also do Fast Math to help with this skill.
In reading we read about a paperboy. We tried to visualize what was happening in the story. I don't show the kids the pictures during this time. Good readers can make their own pictures in their head. The kids are getting better and better at this-- they even know the word 'visualize' :)
In writing we wrote about our break. The kids got a chance to share and I loved hearing about all the things they did. They were so very excited to tell me about all the fun things they got to do over break.
Have a good night!
