Hi,
Today we had a special visitor in reading. Mrs. Grissom our reading coach taught small reading groups. We think Mrs. Grissom is fun. We learned many things in class today.

Reading: We learned how to use a dictionary to look up words we do not know the meaning of.
We read to determine how characters grow and change.
We also learned how to spell some compound words.

Math: We learned that multiplication is repeated addition. We also learned that we can use
multiplication facts that we know to help us with facts we have not memorized yet.
We worked on our "6" facts and "7" facts. We also practiced addition facts and adding
3 digit numbers with regrouping. We learned a new and interesting way to check our
addition.

Language: We are learning that some nouns can't be made plural by adding s. These are called
irregular nouns. Such as: man/men; woman/women; deer/deer; What are some
others can you tell me?

Social Studies: We read a Scholastic News. Read at home and complete for 2 points added to
your social studies grade.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!! Our book order arrived today.

Bye for now
Mrs. Powell
