Good Afternoon,
It is hard to believe that we have been in school a week already!
Picture day is Friday!
Language Arts~
Today we went to computer lab and then met our Kindergarten reading buddies for the first time. We came back to the room and took our vocabulary quiz over chapter 4. We read chapter 5 and worked on our comprehension questions.
HW: Vocab Quiz over chapter 5. Finish chapter 5 comprehension questions. Remember to answer all the questions using complete sentences and lots of detail. These questions will become part of your study guide for the end of the test. You want to be able to study complete answers. Do your best!
Math~
Today we learned about prime and composite numbers. We used the divisibility short cuts we learned yesterday to decide if the digits were factors of a particular number. We made factor strings and then if there were only 2 factors (1 and the number) we knew the number was prime. More factors meant the number was composite.
HW: Finish pages 16 and 17 in your journals and do Study Link 1.6.
