Dear Parents,
We had a fun week last week in math using balances to compare weight of objects and to discuss all the ways we would ever need to know how heavy things are. This coming week is our last week of measurement before we move on to multiplication and division, which will carry us all the way to Christmas. Have a great homeschool week, and I can't wait to see all the crazy hair and socks this week for Spirit week!
Blessings in Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
Important info: Math: You will need unifix cubes, counters, or coins at home to teach multiplication/division; it doesn't matter which, they just need to be of equal size. (We start these skills on 10/29!)
Reading Interest Inventory: Please have your child return their reading inventory on Monday. I can't wait to read these!
