Rounding Poem
Find the number in it's spot.
Go next door and see what you've got.
5 or more, raise the score.
4 or less, let it rest.
All the numbers to the right,
run to zero in a freight.
Odd and Even Poem
1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Odd numbers like Frankenstein.
0, 2, 4, 6, 8
Even Steven thinks you're great!
6 and 7 are sad and blue
they make the number 42.
7 and 7 are doing fine,
they make the number 49.
I ate and I ate till I got sick on the floor,
8 X 8 is 64.
4 and 4 got in a car...
but they had to be 16 to drive.
6 x 6, magic tricks
Abracadabra....36.
Eight times four is thirty-two,
thirty-two, thirty-two!
Eight times four is thirty-two,
and now you know it's true!
(Mary had a little lamb tune.)
Science Update
We will start the year with science investigation tools. Then we'll be learning about matter.
Don't forget sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat for P.E. and recess. Please send a water bottle with your child's name on it every day.
