Reading
January book reports will be due Thursday, Jan. 31st. We continue to work in our ISAT book this week. We will be focusing on main characters and supporting characters. Authors and illustrators reveal characters through their thoughts, words, and actions. The plot of a story can center around contrasts between the actions, motives, and appearances of characters.
Math
If your child has not yet memorized multiplication and/or division facts, they need to know them!!! Last week we took four days to complete lesson 7, so we did indeed take 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 Monday, February 4th. The Chapter 5 Test should be on Friday, February 8th.
