Good Afternoon,
Students have their normal reading log to complete tonight along with studying their spelling words. If you need the words again, they are in yesterday's blog. For math, they have two days to complete the math assignment that is due on Thursday. They need to bring their math book home with them and answer all the questions on pg. 24 and 25 on separate paper. This is important homework that serves as a review for the Topic 1 math test that they will take on Thursday.
Just a reminder that students should keep toys or items not needed for school at home. We have seen items that do not belong here since they can be damaged, lost, etc.
Thank you,
charles.utter@am.dodea.edu mindy.thompson@am.dodea.edu

Update 9/29/2014
Happy Monday Parents,
In language arts, the students will be working on author's purpose as their reading skill. They should be doing their reading log each night and studying their stem words. They are multi- (many), micro- (small), magna- (large), equa or equi (equal), and mega- (loud).
In social studies they will become more proficient in regions with the project they are working on. In science, we are continuing to learn about weather (water cycle, clouds, weather tools). In math, we are finishing up Topic 1 and will have a test on it later in the week. It will include place value, expanded form, word form, rounding, money, and making a list problem solving.
Tonight's homework is the reading log, studying words, and the math sheet on making a list problem solving.
Have a great week.

Update 9/24/2014
Parents,
Thank you to those of you who made it to Curriculum Night. Hopefully you enjoyed it and picked up some books from the book fair, too. For those who wondered, there were 174 chocolate kisses in the glass container.
Homework tonight is both sides of the math sheet reviewing place value and writing numbers. They should continue their reading log each night and study their spelling words.
Students received their progress reports today. Please sign it and have your child return it to school.
Thank you,
Chuck Utter, Mindy Thompson

If the words are missing, please look on yesterday's post and they are listed.
Thank you and have a great night.
