Next week we have a Science Test on Tuesday, a Social Studies Test on Thursday (we are making review sheets in class!), and we will be working on our 3 and 6 Multiplication Facts in Math. All of these are going to be listed on the newsletter on Monday, but I thought I would go ahead and pass this information along in case you want to get a head start this weekend. (i.e. multiplication facts!)
Have a good weekend!

Google Earth
We were talking about how satellites take pictures of our Earth from space today in Social Studies. I pulled up some images on Google Earth so they could see what these pictures really look lilke. Tomorrow we're going to look at pictures of the school!
I just wanted to give you a heads up just in case you were being asked to do this tonight at home. I did not tell them that this was something that they needed to do, but they were REALLY excited about the website!

Multiplication Facts
Make sure you are studying our multiplication facts at home! We will continue doing our math facts quizzes on Thursdays as well as our "pop quizzes" over the facts we are working on in school. We are not, however, memorizing these facts in class. So far we have done 2s, 4s, 5s and 10s. Memorizing these facts will just make math during the rest of the year SO MUCH easier!
Also, I have a CD that has cute songs to help memorize these facts. If you think this is something that will help (although YOU will probably get these songs stuck in your head too!) just send a blank CD to school and I will burn a copy. I'm going to start playing it during math time as well so the kids can hear it during the day.
