Spelling - Backpack Page 12 and continue to study for Thursday’s test.

Math - Flashcards and study the review pages coming home for the Topic 1 test on Thursday. I took out the flash card signature sheet and put them loose in your child’s folder.  I find it easier for them to just drop it in my box and I can check them and give them back to put it their folders.  Sorry I asked you to tape them to your folder.  I am sending home a few more workbook pages to study for the test.  (Pages 45-46 and 49-50)  

Tomorrow - Bring in your Picture Day form.

Math support at home:

Here is a link to a document which will give math support at home.  You can scan your child's green math workbook page and it will bring up the video we watched in class. Look for the “blue eye” icon on the top left hand corner of the Visual Learning Bridge page. It works best with a tablet/iPad in order to use the interactive features.

ALSO....you can view another video, which explains the lesson further, by using the same code and scanning the front page of your child's black and white homework page (called "Additional Practice"). This page will show a video icon in the top right hand corner of the page. I don't think this video is

 an interactive page, so you can just use your phone to scan and watch the homework video.
