This is the week of Fall conferences. This means we will have three full days, Monday-Wednesday, and two half days, Thursday and Friday. This does cut our instruction down a bit for the week!
In Math on Monday we will finish up strategies on how to regroup in the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands while subtracting. This is a sample from one of our kids work on Friday:
On Tuesday, we will work on subtraction over TRIPLE zeros! Here's what that looks like:
Combine 2 or more groups of things
|
Addition
|
Compare 2 groups of things
|
Subtraction
|
Take some things away from a group
|
Subtraction
|
Find a missing part of a group
|
Subtraction
|
In Fast Facts we will be moving on to Addition and Subtraction combined. Because this is the first time your student has been exposed to mixed addition and subtraction in a fast fact setting, this will be just for practice! Next Fridays FF test will be recorded in the grade book. Fast Facts are worth 20% of your child's Math average.
In Science, we have completed our study on Matter. You can be looking for your child's test score in their Tuesday News-day folder this week. We have skimmed the surface on Mixtures in Science and will be diving deeper into what a mixture is and how they can be separated. Mixtures are very common. When you add two or more different types of things, you make a mixture. The parts that are combined are called ingredients. There can be two or more ingredients in a mixture such as a fruit salad.
Mrs. Ford and I look forward to seeing you this Thursday and Friday for conferences. If you are in my homeroom and have not signed up for a conference with me, please click the link below to do so. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!
Love,
Ms. S
