In math, we are reviewing time and learning how to find the elapsed time. Please work with your child at home with telling time. Ask them to tell you the time. After they answer, ask, “What time will it be in 37 minutes?” Elapsed time is tricky for most students. The more they practice the better they will become. We will begin exploring different types of graphs next week.
In English, we will begin to study simple subjects and predicates, and complete subjects and predicates.
We continue with the novel, Maniac Magee. Students will make predictions and complete reading comprehension exercises.
Each week, we focus on a type of poem. Students have written an Acrostic poem and three Haikus. This week we are working on Free Verse Poems. Each student will have a poetry book to take home at the end of the year.
In social studies, we continue to study the life of Indiana after the Civil War. The chapter test will be next Friday, April 9.
The Math Pentathlon Tournament is quickly approaching. If your child is going and you would like to help the day of the tournament, please let me know. We need judges for the games. You simply sit and watch two children play a game. I will send home a game with your child, so you can play with them to become more familiar. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
