Our Reading stories were all nonfiction this week! We read about Michael Jordan (basketball), Michelle Kwan (figure skating), David Beckham (soccer) and Tiger Woods (golf)! We even watched some youtube of videos of Michael Jordan's top 50 plays...the kids were amazed and loved his tongue hanging out!
We are slowing down with math and practicing, practicing and practicing multiplication. I want the kids to use whatever strategies they find easiest to use to complete the problems.
We have started reading our first American Girl book about Addy. Addy and her family lived during the time of slavery. These books go through Addy's daily life as a slave and trying to "get to freedom". We read the first book this week and the kids are excited to get to the next one. Ask your child what they learned in that story about the times of slavery and some things Addy and her family have gone through so far.
We have been learning how to use Google in technology and what every key on the keyboard does. We are currently typing a blank draft to learn how to change font, size, color, underline...
Everyone have a great, safe weekend!
