Hello, I hope you had a great, long weekend!! I was at home with strep throat last week but I am feeling better and so glad to be back at school. I received so many compliments about how well behaved and hard working this class is.
Remember that this week we will be taking the CogAT test on Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday. It will be first thing in the morning so make sure your child gets to bed early, eats a good breakfast, and gets to school on time.
We are still focusing on addition and subtraction in Math. Subtraction has been difficult for many. Continue to review at home. Let me know if you need ideas on ways to help your child.
We continue to learn about "Our World" and landforms. Make sure your child knows about: mountains, plateaus, coasts, plains, valleys, & deserts. Soon, we will begin a unit on weather. We'll keep a weather journal and chart the conditions each day. Each child will have the opportunity to be our class weather boy/girl.
For homework, your child is bringing home a HOT TOPICS list for you to help them fill out. This will be kept at school & referred to often. They are due back on Friday. A special Grandparents activity is also coming home and is due NEXT Monday.
Thanks for "Leaping" in to see what is "Hoppening" in Ms. Schweizer's Pad!!
