Math Day Number Activity

Today we enjoyed the story One Million Dots by Andrew Clements. It is a great book which helps children understand just how HUGE one million is! Our class colored 40 grids with 300 centimeter squares on each. We then calculated that all together we would have a big banner with a total of 12,000 centimeter squares! It was a great visual for the class.
We learned: 20 x 300= 6,000 and that 6,000 x 2= 12,000!

More Adventures of the SUPERKIDS- Units 3 and 4 Wrap Up
Dear Family,
Your child just completed Units 3 and 4 of the More Adventures of the
Superkids reading program. In Unit 3, your child learned about contractions
that can be made with are, is, am, and will and how to read words when
they are not sure of the vowel sounds.
In Unit 4, your child learned to read and spell words with aw and all,
such as draw and call, In the Reader, we read three exciting stories about
the Superkids: “A Super Day at Happy Land,” “Play Ball!” and “Rex King’s Visit.”
Ask your child what happens when theSuperkids visit Happy Land; watch the
Super Hawks play basketball; and meet their favorite TV star, Rex King.
As you look through the Student Book for Units 3–4, try some of these
activities with your child:
• Have your child read aloud the contractions on pages 1–3 and tell the two
words that were put together to make each contraction. Then ask your
child to explain how to read tricky words like the ones circled on pages 6–7.
• Look at the pink words on page 12. See how many other words your child
can come up with that mean the same as terrific or tiny.
• Have your child read aloud some of the words with aw and all on pages 13–15
and 17. Then ask your child to name some words that rhyme with saw and words
that rhyme with wall.
• Ask your child to tell you about the words on page 23 that have opposite meanings,
such as awful and grand. Play a game where you say a word and your child names a
word that means the opposite, such as up and down, good and bad, happy and sad.
• Look at the directions your child followed on page 24 and give directions for other
things your child might like to draw.
• Read what your child wrote about a TV show on page 25 and discuss why your child
likes this show. Tell about a TV show or book you like and explain why you like it.
