Parent Letter small medium large THOMPSON’S TRUSTY NEWS January 4-8, 2010 Dear Parents; Welcome to the New Year. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I know I thoroughly enjoyed the time off. ******MIDTERM REPORTS WERE SENT HOME TODAY. Please sign and return the whole report by Wednesday so I know that you’ve seen it. Once I’ve documented it, I will return the reports to you. Remember, if you need to get in touch with me, please feel free to email me at pthompson@cullmancats.net MATH This week we will be reviewing adding & subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. This is NOT a new concept for the children; so hopefully, they won’t have too much trouble. The difficulty may come when we add and have to regroup or when we subtract and have to borrow. I will give detailed notes that they will be able to follow at home. Please look over their work to make sure they seem to understand what they are doing and then if they don’t you can bring them in early for me to do some re-teaching. The test for Ch. 6 will be Tuesday, Jan. 12th. LANGUAGE/WRITING/READING Reading logs were taken up today and new ones distributed. The children also received DLR and DPE for this week. We are going to begin our study of Poetry and the different types of poems. The children will create a poetry notebook with their own original poems in it. We will continue our study of figurative language, focusing on idioms this week. The children will select an idiom to illustrate and explain the figurative and literal meanings. AR 2:3 is due by next Thursday, 1/14. As always the children should be reading at least 30 pages every night. SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE Daily Geography – “The West Indies” was distributed today.
