Miss Green and I are very pleased with the progress of all the students this marking period.

We are very proud of the enthusiasm and interest in learning that the students are showing at

this time. What a wonderful group of students!

The transition into the upper elementary grades can be a challenge; all the students certainly

appear eager and ready for the expectations of this grade.

We are starting to work on multiplication time’s tables. Along with this math concept we are

doing reciprocal math facts and introducing division facts. All the students can work on

memorizing the multiplication time’s tables to 10 x 10 before the end of the school year. Any

home activities to help with this process are greatly appreciated. This is key math goal for the

upper elementary grades.

Daily reading at home is very important at this age. The general rule of thumb is at least 10-20

minutes daily. The students can either read silently or read out loud. Reading levels can

change depending on the interest of the student’s choice of books. Consider daily home

reading practice to be an on-going homework assignment. Homework at this grade should

not be longer than 30 minutes daily. So include our reading as one of the weekly

assignments.

The students are doing fantastic on the spelling program. Please consider working on-line at

home with the spelling words. This certainly counts as homework too. Keep practicing the

words weekly.

We will be starting Cursive Writing after winter break. We will also be starting Keyboarding

and Word Processing at the same time. Please remember that at this grade we just focus on

home row finger placement, key strokes and not words per minute.

Thank you again. If you have any question please email me.
