We will not have Spelling homework next week. We will be taking our Unit 2 Benchmark Tests in Language Arts on Monday and Tuesday. We will have our Unit 2 Word Wall spelling test on Wednesday, December 9. Students must know how to spell and read the words.

In Math we will continue to learn different strategies for subtraction. We will begin borrowing and double borrowing when subtracting in this chapter. The students will learn the following poem to help them remember what to do:

More on top, no need to stop.
More on the floor,
Go next door and take ten more.
Numbers are the same,
Zero's the game.

Feel free to ask your child about the poem they learned in school if they forget when  to borrow.
