Thank you so much! I was so surprised by all the kind cards and lovely gifts from you and your children. This was truly been a great way to end 2018!
As the new year starts, we will have new units in math and reading. We wrapped up Mystery today and the kids enjoyed watching The Great Mouse Detective. They also spoke about the plot using language like detectives! In 2019, we will begin reading Information books. These Nonfiction texts are high interest and pushes our children to become experts in a topic. Our focus will be to not just collect details but to think about how those details connect to become main ideas.
We have also finished our math units on Multiplication and will move forward to use those facts to help us with our Division work. It would be helpful to continue practicing our multiplication facts, especially the 6, 7, and 8 facts which have always been tricky. A few kids have reported how they have practiced the facts with flash cards or skip counting. Those are great ways to practice!
See you in 2019! Have a beautiful and relaxing Winter Recess!
