Animal Research Rubric

Nunavut Animals
Students,
        Prepare to enlighten and amaze your classmates! You are going to choose an animal that you would like to study and write a research report about. You will present all of the interesting information that you write to your classmates. Write the animal you choose on the line below:

____________________________________________
Parents,
        We will be working on animal research reports at school. I have attached a mini-version of what your child will be working on at school. You can help by looking up information with your child on websites and reading books about their animal with them. They should read what they can but some resources may not be on their reading level. Students will do the writing portion at school and will also have the option of working on a poster or a PowerPoint. Also, if you have access to a printer (or magazines) for pictures that your child could bring to school that would be fabulous. This should be a fun, beginning, research project! I can’t wait to see how the students do!

Multiplication Quizzes

Starting January 28, we will be having weekly multiplication quizzes testing on specific numbers to master the facts. This quiz coincides with the ice cream multiplication scoop bulletin board that we have in our classroom (picture of the board to come soon).

January 28 - 0 times table / 1 times table
February 4 - 2 times table / 3 times table
February 11 - 4 times table / 5 times table
February 18 - 6 times table
February 25 - 7 times table
March 4 - 8 times table
March 11 - 9 times table
March 18 - 10 times table


Mastery for these facts are essential to a strong foundation. In order to move from one ice cream scoop to the next, the student must not make more than 3 mistakes on each quiz. Please remember the schedule and practice those facts!

Pronouns Quiz

We will be having a simple pronoun quiz on Friday January 19.

There will not be a review sheet. I recommend each student to take a few questions from each work sheet we have worked on as their review. I promise the quiz will be sweet, short and simple!

Enjoy this video we watched in learning about pronouns!
