Math - Students will be getting their Unit 1 tests back this week. Unit 2 focuses on multi-digit multiplication, place value, and powers of 10. Students should continue to work with Xtramath to learn their facts quickly.
Reading - Students will be learning about the 4 types of conflict in literature. By the end of the week they should be able to talk to you about person vs. person, person vs. self, person vs. society, and person vs. nature.
Camp - All camp forms should be in by now. We will be moving forward with making plans for camp. Please be sure to check over the packing list ahead of time. Let me or the office know if there is anything your child needs for camp but you are unable to supply.
Core Democratic Values - We are continuing to work on the CDVs. There is a link on the right of this page that lists the values. Students are also learning about the Preamble to the Constitution. We are working on understanding the meaning of this and attempting to memorize it. Many asked if they could sing it to me (Schoolhouse Rock style) and I said "Of course!"
Preamble:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
