Newsletter 11-4-17

ELA
We learned about economics when we read Scarcity this week.  We also practiced words with r-controled vowels, plural nouns, and facts and details.

Math
We finished up our two-digit addition unit with our test on Wednesday.  I was pleased to see how many of you did the practice page with your children.  It really helped!  We started two-digit subtraction on Thursday.  We are using the same strategies we used with addition but reversed.  

Halloween
We had a great Halloween party with crafts, games, and stories.  Thank you to our room moms who made it such a fun day!














Reflex Math



We are making so much progress in Reflex Math!  It's exciting to see our percentage steadily increasing.  The goal is still at least five days a week with a green light 80% of the time.  Signing up for a parent account will you let you get this information.  You can also email me, and I'll send it to you.  

Our students who had 100% fluency and our students who were meeting the goal of 5 days a week and 80% green lights for the last month got to go to our party.  They covered the teachers with whipped cream!




Please keep reading for the 20-book challenge.  The PTA has fun prizes for 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.

Picture retakes will be this Monday.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.  Our students are such hard workers.  I appreciate all of your help at support at home.  We have a great class!
