I am re-working my idea for Simple Solutions.  I think it will benefit parents, students and teacher, to be on the same lesson for each subject.  This week we will catch-up all of our books to lesson #12 by Friday.  We will take all three short quizzes each Friday.  

IXL math practice will be counted as part of the student’s weekly math grade.
When I access my teacher page I can see all the statistics on students practice. 
Please make sure your student is set up on their account (not as a guest) when they do their 30 weekly minutes.  These minutes need to be completed by Friday each week, however students can work over the weekend for the following week’s minutes.

This week in Religion we will be learning about King David, and the gifts that God has given each person.  Students will take a test on Chapter 2 on Friday.

In Math we will continue to work with place value and reviewing the multiplication tables for 0 and 1.  Students will finish Chapter #1 and review this week.  We will have the test on Thursday.  Students will also take their first “Happy Meal” timed tests this week over the multiplication tables for 0 and 1.  Students will take a 1 minute timed test each week.  Our class goal is to master 0 through 12 by Christmas break!  When a student masters all 12 and passes their timed tests they will have earned a special lunch of a Happy Meal.  Students have been taught how to create flashcard books, and shown how to study on IXL math and www.mathplayground.com.  They will need to study outside of class to memorize their multiplication tables.

In reading use the National Geographic Magazines from last week to create posters that highlight main idea, supporting details and vocabulary for each article.  Students will also be introduced to new vocabulary for next week’s story Phoebe and the Spelling Bee.

In Language Arts students produce the final copy for their name paragraphs.   Students will also take a quiz over the first unit in Phonics.

In Science we are still finishing our unit on the Scientific Method.

Spelling this week is Unit #3, long e and long a.  All words are posted on www.spellingcity.com for practice.  The test will be on Friday.
