School Happenings!

We have been VERY busy since the last time I updated the blog! We have been studying "Animals and Their Habitats" in our reading unit, and are on our LAST STORY of Unit 2. We will have one week of Junior Great Books next week, and then move into our reading unit all about "Money".

In math, we are continuing to work on multiplication skills. Our scores on our Chapter 3 test were phenomenal, and I expect the same for Chapter 4. We are looking at the different strategies that can be used to solve a multiplication problem. Although I am all for using different methods, such as arrays, pictures, number lines, etc., I would also like to see MEMORIZATION as on of our strategies as well. Knowing multiplication facts is imperative to the rest of our math curriculum, and will be an important skill for our students to possess as they continue into life.

On a side note: Congratulations to all of our students recognized at the Honor Roll Assembly this morning. I am hoping to see more students on that stage after the second nine weeks!

Just a reminder: NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY! 

Happy Veteran's Day!
