Here is a link to this week's spelling words: Spelling words

Dear Families,

Please remember that next week we only have school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If you will be out of town early, please let me know!

Here is a weekly roundup!

Writing:

  • We learned about opinion and persuasive writing
  • Ask your child about the letter they are writing! Who are they writing to? What is their thesis statement? What are their supporting reasons?

Math

  • We finished our unit and place value and subtraction. Overall students deepened their understanding of subtraction and what it means when you borrow across hundreds. 
  • Our upcoming unit is about multiplication.
  • When you are at the store - ask your child questions like:
    • If the bananas are about $3 a pound, how much would it cost if we buy 4 bananas.
    • For Thanksgiving we need 1 bunch of greens for two people. We have 12 people coming. How many bunches should we buy?
    • You could also ask your child to tally how much groceries cost as you go to the store in general! 
  • Please continue to have your child practice runmoby.com at home. I do assign specific lessons for each child to practice! 
IB and reading

  • If you look below this post you will see many of the questions students had as well as resources to help them answer their questions. This will give you an idea of what we are studying! 
Have a wonderful and safe weekend and Thanksgiving!
