Sorry for the delay on this post.

In math this week, we took a quiz on factors and multiples!  Our classes average was a 93%- that is fantastic!  We will begin Order of Operations and have a quiz on this next Wednesday.

In reading we will begin our new ELA book!  This is a learning process for all of us, so be patient with me as I will with your students!

We will continue with descriptive writing this week.  Our focus is on Similes and Metaphors.

Happy October!!

Things to look forward to this week:

Math- we will begin a unit on factors and multiples.   Please, please be sure your child is learning their multiplication facts!  Flashcards are a wonderful thing!

Reading- We will begin the novel Sounder today and we will also be heading to the Bedford Public library this week.  If your child does not have a library card, please be sure to fill out a form so they are able to get one while we are there!

Writing- our focus this week will be descriptive writing, more specifically sensory details.

Class Dojo is up and running so hopefully you have all connected with our class so you are able to keep an eye on your child's behavior!
