It was great seeing many of you at the Spring Open House. The children were so proud and excited to share all their wonderful work with you. I want to thank you all for attending
Math - In math this week we will continue to work on long division. They will divide 1 digit numbers into 2 and 3 digit dividends. Any help at home is greatly appreciated. We will cover lessons 11.1, 11.3 and 11. 7. We will also work on lesson 12.2 dividing with money and dividing 3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers when there are zeros in the quotient. That is lesson 12.3. The children should be ready for a quiz on Tuesday to show understanding of dividing 1 digit into a 2 digit dividend. See their binders for examples of the problems we have been doing in class.
Spelling- This week the students will be learning about plural possessives. When a plural noun ends with s, add only an apostrophe to make the possessive form ( ex. farmers' crops) When a plural noun does not end in s, add 's to make the plural form (ex. children's toys).
Reading - We will begin a poetry study this week. This unit will review all types of figurative language. The children will be making their own poetry book.
Social studies - This week we will continue to study the culture of the Ojibwa tribe. There will be a quiz over this on Thursday of this week. They should bring home their books and use the information in their binders to study for this quiz.
Science - We will begin our Earth Science unit this week. We will be studying the Earth's formations. They should know the 9 landforms and be able to describe them. Mountains, hills, valleys, canyons, plains, plateaus, deltas and dunes and islands.
