Homework Log and Fridge Notes August 28th

I have opened our first Scholastic Books order online! Use the tab at the top of the blog to go to our class’ online store. I am submitting our order on Friday, September 29th. 

If you haven’t already done so, please make sure you log on to ProgressBook  to complete the online Parent Technology Media and Information Consent. This must be completed at the beginning of each school year.  Your ProgressBook log-on is in your child’s KOALA Book inside the “Log-on Information Cheat Sheet” page protector. This is a website you will want to become familiar with anyway because it gives you up-to-the-minute information on your child’s grades and progress in every subject.

Fridge Notes August 28 PDF

Additional Math Information: Here are some resources to help with this week’s math concepts:

1. http://www.abcya.com/interactive_100_number_chart.htm This is an interactive number grid website that allows you to use a virtual marker to color different patterns. You can have your child color all the numbers they say when they skip count by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.

2. Thousand Number Grid (Parents) In class we will be using this document to create a thousand chart. You can print it off to make your own thousand chart to keep and refer to at home!

3. Here is a little refresher on some place value vocabulary:

The trickiest of these is expanded form, but it is also the most critical for developing a strong foundation in number sense. Expanded form focuses on the VALUE of each digit, which will come into play when we move onto more difficult math concepts later on in the year, such as regrouping.

Standard Form: 427
Expanded Form: 400 + 20 +7
Word Form: four hundred twenty-seven
 

And here’s a fun website to practice expanded form using the same format we use in class:

The homepage of the website is also listed on our “Tips and Links- Learning Resources” page because it looks has a ton of other fun math games.
