Ancient Greece Test: Our test on Ancient Greece will be on Wednesday, October 23rd.  This is a change from the original date of October 22nd.  We will be taking the test on the computer, so a sheet with your student's score will be coming home.  Please be sure to review class notes nightly to prepare for the test.
Math: We are beginning subtraction.  We will be going up to 4-digits, with regrouping.  You may see your student using a strategy you are not familiar with, so please be open to it.  If you have any questions about a strategy, please feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to explain it to you.  We're learning all kinds of new ways to solve math problems this year!

Here's what we're working on:
Math: We are working on addition.  Students are required to estimate sums and find the actual sum.  You may see your child solving addition problems in a different way- don't be alarmed! :)  We will be learning a variety of strategies this year, focusing on the understanding of the foundations of math concepts.  If you have any questions about a strategy, feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to explain any of them to you.
Social Studies: We have begun our Ancient Greece unit. We will be studying the contributions of Ancient Greeks, as well and the physical and human characteristics of Greece.  Check down below on this blog for links to great websites about Ancient Greece.
