1. Read each night for at least twenty minutes. Hopefully by now you no longer need to watch the clock for your child. They should be reading a good bit of their books and stopping when they get to a comfortable break in the story. Most of the kids are now reading more than just twenty minutes each evening which is great! Those that did not get their logs in on time (as well as those whose logs were incomplete) have another reading log this week. Everyone else has the week off from logging!
2. A set of graphs will come home on Tuesday. The kids will collect the loose change in the house and graph the years each coin was made. There will be separate graphs for quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. These are due back on Friday. We'll connect all their graphs and see what our cumulative findings are. We are currently working to graph the change in the classroom and, so far, have been surprised to find that most of our pennies date back more than fifteen or twenty years. If our home graphs show different findings we'll have to consider why the data sets show different results. If they are the same we'll consider why this might be.
3. There will be a civil war study guide coming home on Friday. The kids need to study over the weekend. We will have a quiz on Monday.
