Weekly Update
Updates:
I usually don't reach out to parents for classroom needs, however, we could really use a better pencil sharpener! Ours is not sharpening pencils very well. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to get one for our classroom. I have a link I can send if you have an interest. It's a little spendier, but other teachers have found it to be fantastic! Thanks for considering!
RS PAC will sponsor a fundraiser night at Subway. A portion of the proceeds will support fun community events and classrooms throughout the year! The fundraiser is tonight (Monday) from 4pm - 8pm.
We have started our Holiday Sharing program. Our class will be purchasing items for a six year old boy. Your child received the Holiday Sharing informational sheet last Wednesday to bring home. Please send in all donations by this Friday, if possible. Thank you!
Weekly Accomplishments:
Math: We started our fractions unit. We also are learning how to classify different shapes. We continue to test weekly on our multiplication facts. Currently, the kids will test on the 6s on Tuesday. Please take time each night to work on their fact fluency. Knowing their facts will make multi-digit multiplication and division much easier.
Reading: We started our next curriculum, Arts and Letters. The unit we will be completing is centered around mythology. The essential question for this unit: What do people learn from myths and stories?
Science / Social Studies/Health: We finished the water cycle unit last Friday. This week we will start a social studies unit that focuses on the Northeast region of the United States.
