Math- This week we will begin Topic 13 in math. This covers multiplication of fractions, decimals, and converting fractions to decimals. That will wrap up our study of fractions, then on to measurement and data. Please remind your student to complete nightly homework as it gives them to replicate the tasks taught in class that day. ELA- This will be our review week. We will be going over the concepts taught over the past 5 weeks. We will also be finishing up our informational writing assignment. The rubric, my essay example, and reading passages for this assignment were given to your student but may also be accessed on the ELA Writing page of my website.
Science- The Soil OPM will be next Thursday. Students should bring home their science journals to review. Remember, studying their notes counts toward reading minutes.
Other- Our reading incentive begins this week! Please remember to document all reading minutes in your child's planner. A letter explaining the class reward as well as how your child can earn one of the 2 BRAND NEW KINDLE FIRE tablets was detailed. We have 23 students in our class, so they have roughly a 10% chance of winning one!!! Good luck, and let the reading begin.
Eager to see your children's smiling faces tomorrow,
Ms. Stroud
