Busy Minion News - Week of September 27th

This Week  Wow – that week went by F A S T!  We celebrated Map Day today!  Please check out our webpage to see our NH County Maps.  The Minions did a terrific job – they were so creative with their projects!  This week we also enjoyed “The Astronaut and the Onion,” as well as some space activities.  We finished our DRA reading level tests.  We have started Unit 2 in Math – and are busy memorizing multiplication facts.  We had a few fun activities that helped us learn about multiples, factors, and products.  Our NH Region books are in the midst of being worked on and completed – as well as our Animal ABC books.

Next Week  For Literacy next week, we will read the story, “Because of Winn Dixie.”  We will work on summarizing and sequencing story events.  We will work on ways to fix run-on sentences.   In Math, we will continue working on extending our multiplication facts by learning how to multiply larger numbers with zeros.  We will continue to keep working on X-ray Math and the higher multiplication facts.  We will work on finishing the writing to our NH Regions Picturing Writing project so we can get those published, as well as our ABC Animal books.  We will also start learning about the Native Americans that lived in what is now NH.
