Short week with so much learning

Today is the 100th day of school... I know I can't believe it either. They have learned and grown so much in these past days that I can't believe it. This week we will finish our time unit and move onto addition with three numbers and fact families. Continue to work on ixl and xtramath these websites will really help. If you agreed to help donate to the classroom membership to RAZ kids please send in your $10. Next week will be exciting and new for the kids as well. Also if anyone has any magnetic numbers that they are no longer using we would love some! (It would be a great addition to a math center.)
Reading: Cause and Effect, PIE (When you are reading to them at home ask them provoking questions like why do you think the author wrote this story?)
Language Arts: Verbs (While driving in the car have them make up a list of verbs.)
Math: Addition and subtraction (ixl and xtramath)
Social Studies: Theodore Roosevelt (Complete the square on the enrichment homework.)

WOW... I am so shocked at how well they are doing on www.ixl.com. Some of the students are moving along so quick that they are almost on the second grade standards. Also, I am curious if you guys would be interested in purchasing a membership to RAZ kids. Its a wonderful reading website that assign kids books based on their reading level. It is only $80. I will put up a blog under the blog portion for you to voice your opinions.
Don't forget Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Day so there is no school.

Language Arts: Verbs
Science: Animals
