We are completing Unit 4 - Adjectives with a test on Tuesday, January 22nd. We will be doing an adjective a-z picture book upon completion of the unit and will be due on Tuesday, January 29th.
Reading
This week we will be working in our ISAT review book to cover activities that went with our two stories that we read in our book. We will be working on point of view, purpose for reading, and also look at charts, graphs, and diagrams.
Math
If your child has not yet memorized multiplication and/or division facts, they need to know them!!! We are officially half way through Chapter 5. We will be beginning long division on Tuesday. I plan on spending 3 days to complete lesson 7, so we will be taking it slow in the beginning of this second half. Looking ahead: we will be taking another checkpoint quiz upon the conclusion of the chapter (p.220-221) on Thursday, January. 31st. The Chapter 5 Test should be on Monday, February 4th.
