The book fair begins Monday, March 1st.  Family night will be at 6:00 p.m.  Grandparents' Day is Tuesday, March 2nd.

Reading

We working ARMT practice questions, word study skills, and  comprehension strategies.

  Language

  On Friday, they should be able to write the sentences correctly.  We will go over the corrections and they will write them in their DOL notebook.  Students should write the correct sentences on the practice sheet sent on Thursday.  I will expect them to review the sentences at home so that they will do well on the test. 

Week 25 DOL sentences (incorrect) are below:

1.  Are family son't leave Kansas city for thanksgiving.

2.  me and doug done our best work on our poster.

3.  i have drawed horses many times but i like to draws trees better?

4.  And mother gived buttons my kitten a bowl of milk.

5.  joey and me has a friend who live in england.

6.  my dog eaten his food, and then he drunk his water

7.  mr and mars phillip stokes

     567 north canal street

     chicago il 60600

8.  grandma cann't give the presents to bill and me until christmas day?

  Math

Each morning students will complete two daily math problems with the DOL sentences.  After reading, we will do "math warm-up."  This work will consist of five or six prodblems such as addition and subtraction problems, patterns, telling time, and multiplication and division.  We will discuss the answers and work them out together after the kids have had time to try them on their own.  Then we will have our daily math lesson. 

This week we are working on graphing and the introduction of multiplication.  This week we will test on facts 0s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s.  Please begin drilling and practicing the multiplication facts at home.   I will give fact a test each Friday.  It is very important that you help your child study at home.  Next week, I'll be adding facts 4s and 11s.
