Division 7 is now studying the human body and learning about all the different organs. We have now completed the heart and the lungs.
In Math we have covered place value and addition with and without regrouping. If you have a chance to review these with your child that would be great. Hopefully they remember to tell you that they have to start at the ones no matter how many digits the numbers are that they are adding. We have just started subtraction of two and three digit numbers and are learning that they sometimes need to 'borrow' so that they can subtract. This is a difficult concept for some so we will be focusing on this for awhile. Practicing all basic addition and subtraction facts would be helpful to make these next steps easier. Thanks for your support with this.
Ask your child about the healthy living stations we are doing with our big buddies. ??? The students are rotating through 6 different stations (food inventions, serving sizes for different food groups, sorting food into food groups, creating an exercise routine that they lead the classes in, learning how to read /hopefully start to understand food labels and 'moo-gamy' plus food riddles). This week went very well and everyone was engaged in their activities. Thanks to Miranda for helping out!
Remember that there is no school for students on Monday as it is a Pro D Day. We will not be doing spelling this week as it is a short week but will resume on May 10th. I forgot to hand back their spelling quiz on Friday but will do so on Tuesday.
Hopefully you all received the Scientist of the Day information sheets. If you didn't or have any questions please just contact me.
New Just Right Reading went home on Friday. Please ensure that your child brings these to school daily. Thanks. I have updated the calendar on this blog (sorry) forgot to do this sooner!
Have a great weekend. Sheralyn
