v Midterms have been mailed home. If you havenÕt
received yours, please contact the school office at 876-4301.
v COMPUTERS: We were excited to have Mr. Poland
deliver our classroom laptops this week and show us how we can use them!
v MATH: WeÕve begun a unit on multiplication/division
facts. Attached with your childÕs papers is a set of fact triangle flash cards.
Cut them apart on the solid lines. Store in a baggie. Please have your child
use them daily to master the basic facts. FYI: Everyday Math has a helpful
parent website at: www.wrightgroup.com/parent_connection/index.html.
v READING: WeÕve begun a new theme called ÒEarth
Patrol: Preserve and ProtectÓ. Reading selections will focus on ways to protect
our planetÕs resources. Over the next few weeks share with your child any
newspaper or television articles you discover on this topic. It is amazing what
a global awareness our children have!
v SCIENCE: We will finish our study of food chains and
food webs the first of next week. We continue reading daily about different
animals and are learning lots of interesting information. Ask your child to
tell you one of the fascinating facts.
(We were thrilled to
watch two bald eagles circling our playground on Wednesday!)
v SOCIAL STUDIES: We are researching and learning
about the counties of Maine.
