In math class this week, we will begin Chapter 7 in the math book. We will be telling time, learning A.M. and P.M., figuring out elapsed time, and learning to read calendars and schedules. We are doing another week of review in Language Arts this week, so in Grammar we will continue to review all skills from Lessons 6-9 which includes simple and compound sentences, common and proper nouns, abbreviations, and singular and plural nouns. This week we will read and discuss Chapter 5 in our Communities books. Students received new reading logs for the month of November. Please remember that reading logs MUST show a total of 60 or more minutes of reading per week. November has 4 weeks (we will not count the week of Thanksgiving), so that would be 60 x 4 = 240 minutes total for the month of November. Please also remember that the monthly math calendars are now part of homework and must be completed by the deadline each month. These calendars are in addition to the FLIP-IT binder math pages the students must complete every Tuesday and Thursday. We are giving grades on these math pages, the math calendars, and the reading logs. Please be sure to help your child complete these on time so they will not receive zeros in these subjects. Math calendars and Reading Logs will receive monthly grades, and the FLIP-IT math pages are two grades per week.
