Tonight's math homework should be written in your child's math notebook. In case he/she lost it or didn't write it down, here's a picture of the assigned problems:
Students were also assigned a new Reader Response Blog prompt today. It is:
Imagine a new title for your book. What would that new title be? Explain your choice. You should have at least 5 complete sentences. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation do count!
This week, we are finishing up studying verb tenses, and students have been assigned a graded activity to be completed during their reading stations. If you think your child needs extra practice, please visit the student blog for some links. We're also beginning to work on applying the grammar lessons of the first semester to paragraph and sentence editing. Please be on the lookout--you should see some practice sheets (completed in class) coming home.
In Math, we continue to work on adding fractions with like denominators, decompose fractions, and changing mixed fractions to improper fractions. We will continue this unit this week and the next. We will begin a new unit on geometry beginning the week of the 15th.
In Reading, our small groups are continuing to work on making and evaluating generalizations using evidence from the text. In whole group, we are practicing using text features to aid in comprehension and answering text-dependent questions.
In Science, students are finishing up with their "Create an Animal" project. Next week, we'll switch to Social Studies and will be discussing the Civil War.
Have a wonderful evening, and please let us know if you have any questions.
