Hi Parents!
This is a short week, but we're still packing in lots of learning! Today in math, we worked on renaming mixed numbers as improper fractions, and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers. Students should complete page 421 in their textbooks for homework. Tomorrow, we will learn to add and subtract mixed numbers.
In writing, we're still working on our fictional narratives. Most students have reached the editing and publishing stage, and we look forward to having students present their work to their peers. Additionally, students have been learning about figurative language, specifically similies and metphors, and have now moved on to hyperbole and personification. Students should be able to both identify these in their reading and use them in their writing.
In Social Studies, students are learning all about the Revolutionary War and why it is so important in our country. We've read and watched videos, and students are conducting some independent research on an event or topic of particular interest to them.
Please don't forget that study trip permission slips are due by tomorrow. We must confirm our numbers and order lunches at least two weeks in advance, so if you haven't gotten those forms in, please do so.
Thanks so much for your support. Have a great evening!
