Math: Test remediations are DUE on Friday!! Don't wait until the last minute! Today in class, we did practice stations and I met with students in small groups. Expect more of the same tomorrow. Since starting division, we have really slowed down and need to take our time and get this right before moving on.
Social Studies: Explorer reports have begun! Please check out the explorer report template provided to your child. Every kid is expected to research and become an expert on one explorer. Which one did your child choose? Kids want to totally ignore books and go straight to the internet. I encourage them to use the internet as a LAST RESORT. Our school library has a lot of great books on explorers, unfortunately, they are all on reserve here at school. Perhaps a trip to the public library? The tentative due date is next week, Friday.
Language: Reading groups are beginning very soon. We have been training on how we do our practice stations. Practice stations are what your child is doing when I'm not working with them in the small group setting.
