What a beautiful fall weather weekend we had! I heard all about the soccer matches, birthday parties, art shows, puzzle solving, and tree top adventures.
This week we will:
Math: Explore word problems with area & perimeter
Reading/SS/Science: Read non-fiction to determine the main idea & supporting details. We will read be reading articles about European Exploration and Space and Stars in an effort to incorporate social studies and science standards.
Writing: Students will begin researching a country for their expository writing project.
For homework this week we will:
1. Continue to practice word study lists and prepare for the spelling test on Friday.
2. Read 15-20 minutes or practice X facts by creating flash cards or playing on SumDog.
Speaking of SumDog....Did you know?
Math-A-Thon is 4 weeks away!
Math-A-Thon is a super fun opportunity for all of the students to engage in some friendly competition. They get to improve their math skills, all while raising money for the F.AVE PTO. The funds raised are used to support both students and teachers.
During the week of November 3rd, students will log into an online program, SumDog, and answer math questions. They earn points for every problem answered, similar to a read-a-thon.
Please encourage your child to start thinking about sponsors! Look out for detailed information and sponsor sheets in your child's red Communication folder today! This is our school's biggest fundraiser and we hope to keep building on our goals!
