Math: We are finished with the 100 addition fact tests! I'm sure the kids will be very excited:) However, we are now moving on to subtraction. Each week we have a test, the subtraction tests will build up by 10 facts, until we get to 100 subtraction facts. This Friday, we will have a 50 fact subtraction test. The goal is for the kids is to be able to finish all 50 facts in 4 minutes. Please practice at home with your child!
Science: We will finish up Chapter 10 about forces. A study guide will go home on Monday, and we will have our test on Thursday. This test is longer than previous science tests, as it covers three chapters rather than just one. We will review in class, but the kids will need to study at home as well!
