flashlight-a light that is small enough to carry in your hand
doorstop-something that holds a door open
gear-the tools & other things a person needs to do a job or an activity
walkie-talkies-radio sets that are carried & used by people to talk to each other
equipment-the things a person needs to do a job

We’ll finish out Unit 4 this week by reviewing all the concepts we’ve learned in the unit. We will work on a & an, capitalization & punctuation, and contractions. We’ll start our final unit next week.

Math |
Our math concepts for the week are:
*identifying intersecting & perpendicular line segments
*writing number sentences for arrays
*identifying right angles
*writing the digital date
*locating points on a coordinate graph
*multiplying by four
As you are working with your child on their multiplication facts, help them remember that they are looking at patterns. Multiplying by 3’s & 4’s is easier when they realize they are counting by 3’s or 4’s. Again, be practicing the basic addition and subtraction facts. Without those basic facts, two– and three-digit addition and subtraction is much more difficult.
