Here we are in the sixth week of school. You should have received your child's progress report and signed it over the weekend. We are trucking right along now and will have quite a busy week of learning.
In Math we will start the week with a test. The kids worked hard on Friday in partner groups on their study guide. They should have bought it home over the weekend and looked over it with you. On Tuesday we will review some 2nd grade skills, addition with two and three digits with and without regrouping. On Wednesday we will be introducing four digit addition without regrouping. Towards the end of the week we will introduce four digit addition with regrouping in the hundreds place. We will start the kids off very simple on place value mats building numbers and adding them with manipulatives and gradually progress to the regular algorithm on paper/pencil. This is what it would look like with two digit regrouping:
In Math Facts, we have moved on to subtraction. This week will be graded and inputted into the online grade book.
Last week in Science we had such a fun time with Matter exploration. The kids investigated mass, texture, temperature, magnetism, sink/float, and the three states of matter. This week we will dig a little deeper into understanding the molecule make-up of a solid, liquid, and gas. The kids will take a 10 question quiz in the middle of the week to review learning thus far. It includes some Science safety and tool review, as well as some deeper questioning on Matter in which they discovered in last week's lab.
Thanks for reading!
