Monday Memo
February 22, 2016
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great
weekend! We enjoyed the all school assembly to congratulate the high school
wrestlers, that we had on Tuesday!!
This is also a review week
for reading. We will be spending this week working on finishing our novel Misty of Chincoteague. We will also be
working on writing and listening to different kinds of poems including haiku,
cinquains and limericks . I am also continuing to read to them a different book about African Americans
and their contributions to our great country. We are also work on finishing our
short biographies of famous African Americans, to focus on our comprehension
skills. A reminder that their poetry book is due to be read by February 29th.
I will be giving them a different book at that time. I am so thrilled to see
that so many of the students are on their second or third book for this two
week period!!
We have started a unit on
rocks and minerals for Science. If the students have a rock collection they
would like to share, please feel free to send it to school with them! We will
be testing over this unit next week.
For Math, we are
continuing on our multiplication problem solving with area and perimeter. Have
your children keep working on their facts so that they are memorized. That will
help them enormously with this problem solving unit. We keep working on our
daily reviews and our daily multiplication practice.
As always, please feel
free to call me with any questions/concerns!
Have a great week!
Chris Mallen
