Early Dismissal
Thursday, October 25th is early dismissal. Your children will be dismissed at 11:00 AM
Chess Club
Tuesday's chess club will meet this week. Thursday is early dismissal day so chess club will not meet that day. Last week we learned about pawn promotion. This week we will begin learning about castling.
Math
In math small groups we have been working on number sense. We are trying to give the students a "feel" for our base 10 number system. One way that you can help your student is to count together. Count up and count down. Count by 2's, 5's and 10's. Count money.
Reading
One of the strategies we are working on in reading small groups is summarizing. At the dinner table, when there is a lull in the conversation, ask your child to summarize what they read that day in reading class. You can also ask them to summarize something that they are reading at home. Who knows, it might lead to an interesting discussion.
