Happy Valentine's Day! No homework!!

I made a mistake about when the paragraphs are due for the living history museum.  They are due on the 16th.  Sorry.

In spelling we are practicing hard and soft c. Soft c as in city or hard c as in cat. In reading, we are reading Brothers and Sisters. In math, we are playing collect $1.00.  This is how you play-all you need is fake or real coins and two dice. You roll the dice and say you got 10 so you get out a dime, and so forth until you reach $1.00.in writers work shop we are done with writing how to make a teddy bear more fun to play with, and moving on to the next story. But I do not know what we are we are writing about next. In religion we read the Sower. In social studies we're talking about cardinal directions. Here are the words for next week:  why, help, put, different, away

In reading we are finishing a book called Chicken Sunday. In math we are doing multiplication problems.  In spelling we are working on hard and soft c. In social studies we are talking about cardinal directions. In writing we are finishing our teddy bear stories. Third grade is doing great in all subjects! Here are the words for next week:  learn, point, city, play, forward

2nd graders have a math sheet tonight

3rd graders have instructions to play a game, "Factor Pairs" with someone at home.  They will need their array cards they made the last two nights.

We are glad to be starting a new week, hopefully without any cancellations or delays!

As I stated in my last post, spelling activities from unit 20 are due this Friday and the words for this week are the same as last week.  They still need to turn in a reading log for this week.

For math, 2nd grade has two sides to complete.  It is dealing with counting money.

3rd grade needs to make their array cards.  They should have the instructions, the sheets of cards to be cut out, and a plastic bag.  They will need some scissors from home.  I am giving them 2 nights to do this; so it is due Wednesday.  There will be no other math homework tomorrow night.

Please refer to information about the living history museum in an earlier post.  They need to have chosen their person by Wednesday and have their paragraph by Friday.

Thanks,
Amanda

Hello parents,

We will be moving the whole spelling unit 20 to next week.  So the words are the same, and if they already did their activities, then they won't have any to do next week.  If not, then they have an extra week.

Have a great weekend!
