Week 8

We had an exciting week with our first trip and our first visit to the Armory.
Here are some events to look forward to in the upcoming week:

  • Thursday is Picture Day! Our class will be in the MMR at 11:45am to have pictures taken. If you are interested in purchasing pictures, please return the order form with your child by Thursday. 
  • We are finishing our second unit in math. The Unit 2 test will be given on Friday. Students who want additional practice can look at the following pages in the Student Reference Book (SRB) for:
                             Maximum, Minimum, Mode,
                                     Range and Median: p 73-74
                             Addition Methods: p 10-11
                             Trade First Subtraction:  p 12
                              Line Plots and Charts: p 71
There are extra practice questions in the blue boxes labeled Check Your Understanding. Feel free to use those questions. Each child was given a paper back copy of the SRB this week to keep at home until the end of the year.

In addition to the topics listed above, the test will also contain questions about expanded notation and word form of numbers.

Have a great weekend!
