Hi Parents,
We've had a bit of a crazy day--late start, no internet access--but we made it through :-) This week in math, we're working on placing fractions and mixed numbers on a number line. Unfortunately, because we were unable to download our materials from the district website, the students did not receive homework.
In reading, the new blog prompt is:
All stories have a problem (conflict). Explain the conflict in your story. Tell or predict the resolution. Make sure to use at least 5 complete sentences and to edit your entry.
Additionally, in writing, persuasive paragraphs/letters are due this week. Please ask your child if he/she has completed this assignment. If you'd like, you should be able to see the published product on your child's google drive.
In grammar, students will be working on editing skills within the context of short paragraphs. If you'd like for your child to have more practice on this, please ask him/her to show you the "Free time Reading Activities" file in his/her google drive. There are a few links to editing activities there.
Finally, in Social Studies, students are beginning a unit on the Civil War. Students have been assigned a project that requires them to research a variety of aspects of the Civil War and design an interactive book to display their information.
Have a wonderful evening, and please let us know if you have any questions.
