Letter Home

Dear Parents,


Once again we have been extremely busy. Our brains are overflowing with our new knowledge.

First of all we learned about multiplication. We have been learning how to multiply by seven. For example 7 times 2 equals14. This is the same 7 + 7. We all need to practice our new facts every night in order to be awesome at them. At lunch we have practiced our facts by playing a free online video game called Times Attack.

Also most of us have finished our colonial letters and we are now talking about how the colonist survived. We are researching how they met their basic needs like getting food, shelter, water, and clothing. Each of us are going to make a poster exampling what we find. Our letters that are complete are posted on our blog. They are really good.

Another thing we are doing is a photo point. Our snow pile continues to shrink but we are having fun going out and taking its picture every morning. The photo point will be posted on our blog once we are done.

Finally in writing we are learning about how to write dialog. We have to use quotation marks to show when people are talking.

Anyway you should be aware that I am really tired and need to veg out all weekend because my brain hurts.

Chow

Your Awesome Brainy Child
