10/21/08 Pronouns & Math

Part 1 (Daily Reading Homework): your child needs to read at least 20 minutes every night. Please record what they read, how long they read for and then initial it.

Part 2 (Pronouns): We are beginning to work on pronouns. A pronoun is a word that stands in for a proper noun. Example: Richard is a proper noun. I could write Richard is running. I could also replace the word Richard with the pronoun he and write He is running.

Part 3 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.

Part 4 (Place Value): In math we started working on Place Value (OK... re-visiting Place Value). Please look over the Math Mat with your student, discuss the game they played in class, and try the home-school connections listed on the front of the math math with your student.
