READING
This week we will be focusing on the words from the twelfth reading story (U3S2), “Marven of the Great North Woods.” We will be learning about adding -s and -es.. The spelling words we are studying are:
monkeys, flowers, supplies, memories, ashes, circuses, taxes, holidays, friends, enemies, mysteries, beaches, glasses, suffixes, delays, tigers, hobbies, eyelashes, bunches and classes. The students pretest on Monday. They will bring the list home in their Home Folder. Spelling homework is always Tuesday night (due Wednesday morning). I would like them to keep the Spelling sheet in their Home folder so it can be used at home and at school. This week the homework is to write each word in a sentence and then write them three times each. The students should number the sentences and underline the spelling word. Starting this week, the spelling test will not be just the twenty spelling words, but will be dictation of sentences. I will be looking for capital letters, punctuation as well as correct spelling of words. Please remind your child to review the words each night to be ready for the spelling test on Friday.
The vocabulary works that we are learning this week are cord, depot, flapjacks, grizzly, and snowshoes. The extra credit vocabulary words are:
bookkeeper, chit, logging, and lumberjacks.

ARITHMETRICK #10 UP, UP, AND AWAY!!
In class we learned a "trick" when multiplying by 11. Try some more numbers to see if it always works. Share with your parents. Here is how we did it.
To multiply a two-digit number by 11, first write the two digits of the number in the answer space, but leave a space in the middle of the two digits. Then add the two digits together. Write that sum in the space you left between the original two digits.
PROBLEM: 63 x 11
Step 1: Write the number 63 in the answer space, leaving
a space in the middle. 6_3
Step 2: Add the 6 and the 3 6 + 3 = 9
Step 3: Place the sum (9) between the 6 and the 3. 693
If you have to "carry", this is what you do...
PROBLEM: 76 x 11
Step 1: Write the number 76 inthe answer space,
leaving a space in the middle 7_6
Step 2: Add the 7 and the 6 7 + 6 = 13
Step 3: Place the ones digit of the sum (3) between
the 7 and the 6 736
Step 4: Add 1 to the hundreds digit (the 7) 836
