Workbook pages 87-91 are a review of this unit and will be done Monday in class.
Tuesday is the Unit 2 assessment  
Please note: Following this unit's test we will be continuing to review this unit's concepts in class at the start of each math lesson- providing separate instruction: Intervention and challenge questions depending on the performance of your scholar with these concepts. 
Introducing Unit 3 (Measurement) 
with a focus on standard and non standard units of measurement to develop an understanding in your child why a standard unit is needed as opposed to using things like our hands to measure. The class will be introduced to meters later in the week.

Literature: The Boxcar Children chapters 11-13
Heads up Literature homework Friday: Scholars need to write three questions about the book (The Boxcar Children) that cannot be answered with "yes" or "no" for our first BOOK BUZZ

Spalding: 29 word test, handwriting focus: 2:00 letters must start at 2:00 - please email me if you see your child forming these letters incorrectly at home and I will provide a resource to support correct handwriting formation at home.
