Famous Person Projects

The students are off to a great start, finding out lots of facts about their person.  This week we will start assembling our "Scrap Books".  It should be a fun way for the students to think about these important historical figures.  You will, hopefully, find that the students' main take away from the unit is that many of the people who did the most important things in history persevered through difficulties in life.  We will also be working in class to write scripts for our video next week.  Remember, students should come in costume on February 5th.  Let me know if you need help or costume ideas. 

Math - Subtraction with Regrouping

Students are doing a great job Subtracting with Regrouping.  Have you students talk you through a couple of their homework problems this week.  Make sure they are understanding the steps.   Have your child show you the Subtraction with Regrouping Brainpop video.  You will have to use the link on my website. 

Child of the World

The big show is Thursday Night at 5:00.  Please have your child on the playground by 4:45.  You might want to come early to get good seats.  Students should wear their t-shirt and blue bottoms.  Uniform bottoms are fine, but it could be others.  If you get some good videos or pictures, send them my way. 

Homework

Spelling and math this week.  Have your child talk you through a couple of subtraction problems.
