Hi Parents!
This week in math, we're continuing to work with modeling decimal fractional parts and accurately writing and reading those decimal fractions. Tonight's homework requires students to shade a given fractional part of a model and to write a fraction as a "number bond," separating the fraction into tenths and hundredths. For example, you would write 89/100 as 0.89 and 8/10 + 9/100. If students have trouble in part 2 of the homework, you may want to have them draw a model similar to that in part 1.
In Language Arts, students will not have a Reader Response Blog this week, since we have a very short week. We are finishing up our small group novel studies and are continuing to work on reading, analyzing, and finding evidence in text. We are also in pre-writing stage of our final writing assignment for the year. Students will choose a career that they are interested in, research that career, and write a five paragraph report about what they find.
In Science this week, students will begin studying the moon and moon phases. That will continue next week, as well.
Progress reports will go home on Wednesday, so please be on the lookout for them. Of course, students still have time to bring grades up before the final report card :-)
Also, don't forget the 4th grade music program next week. It will be 5/17 at 2:05. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend!
Have a wonderful evening!
