Math
We have done place value and multiplication concepts. This week we are working on mental math strategies. School-wide we have had an emphasis on math vocabulary. We started the year with the word "value", then we added "place value." Next we had "estimation." Our new word is "rounding." We will be rounding to tens and hundreds, and you will see a game coming home soon for fun practice.
Writing
Several students have been enjoying writing stories, and we have shared them during read-aloud. We have some budding authors in our class!
Reading
Keep encouraging your child to read! We have reading stations up and running. Students are doing well at working independently during reading class as small groups are meeting with me.
Social Studies
We are continuing with map activities. Recently we looked at maps of Silverton, found our houses and other local landmarks. It was very exciting to color-code the legend on the map and find schools, the hospital, the library, and other locations around town.
As always, please stay in touch with questions or concerns!
