Busy Minion News - Week of November 15



This Week  We read the story, “Mystic Horse.”  We worked on sequencing events as well as reviewed plurals and possessives.  In Math, we worked on mastering double digit multiplication and started division with remainders.  We never got very far this week with our Super Hero project, but we made a great going away project for Miss Kingston, our Methods student from Plymouth State.  Also, in the spirit of George Washington’s Patriot spy ring, we have also started working on a coded book of the reasons that led to the Revolutionary War.

Next Week  We will read the funny story, “When I Went to the Library,” next week and we will work on the skill of making inferences and action verbs. We will continue to work on mastering multiplication, and continue to learn how to do longer division. We will hopefully continue working on our Super Hero project by starting to formulate a plan for our super hero costumes, as well as starting to write our first chapter in our Super Hero Adventure.  We will also continue to work on our Revolutionary Secret Code books.

REMINDER: We have Phys Ed on Mondays –remember sneakers!  First term will end on Nov. 26 and Report Cards will go home on Dec 6.  Don’t forget to regularly check the updates on our class website: mrsbeaudet.blogspot.com
 
READING MINUTES:  Please keep track of reading minutes at home with “Reading Riches”  For every 100 minutes read at home, students will collect a jewel to add to their Reading Riches medallion here at school.  Please just sign off on the number of minutes read each night and we will keep track of them here at school.  I know families are busy and have a lot going on.  If there is a night when you just simply don’t have time to read, that’s ok – just sign off when your child gets a chance to read! 

PLEASE WORK ON:  Everyone can always work on their Reading Minutes, practice multiplication facts, spelling words, and complete HW!  You can review our Reading stories before each test by asking your child to tell you about the characters and what details happened in the story.
