Your child received a Six Flags Six Hour Reading Program form last week. If your child reads six hours at home between now and February 21st, he/she will earn a free ticket to Six Flags to be used this summer. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Reading and Writing ~ We continue our fiction reading and our fiction writing. We are looking closely at what the characters are like on the inside in both areas.
Math ~We are learning strategies to solve 2-digit subtraction. To start with, we are using ten sticks and ones to show why we ungroup and what happens when we ungroup. From there we will learn numeric strategies to solve the 2-digit subtraction problems.
Content ~ We continue to work on mixing and separating in science.
Don't forget...January is a big month for our school! There are many informational events taking place to help others learn more about New Directions.
