- In Language Arts we will continue working on cursive writing. We will be having homework to practice cursive, this will not be in the blog but in their assignment books. It is hard to know in advance how far we get each day with cursive so I can't post the cursive homework. We will continue to work on Reading Comprehension strategies. This will help the students get into the habit of going back and locating the answer within the passage. We will also discuss summarizing a story we have read.
- In Math we will finish Chapter 6 in the Math book. Chapter 6 is 2 digit subtraction with regrouping. Continue studying the addition facts. The timed tests will be on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. Your child knows which test they are working on. It is very important the students get past the addition timed tests so we can move into the subtraction timed test. Please use the website to practice addition and subtraction facts while being timed.
