Greetings parents:
I hope you had a nice weekend with your family, and enjoyed the sunshine.
Only 5 days 'til break! We had a great time seeing the play at Johns Creek High School on Friday. The middle school actors were quite impressive! Thank you to Kendall's mom and Mason's mom for chaperoning.
Reminders:
*This Friday is Thankful for Reading Day. The students are allowed to wear pajamas and they will enjoy reading activities all day.
*If your child will not be at school Thursday, please let me know.
This week in...
MATH
Purple group will review Unit 3 concepts Tuesday and Wednesday, and take the test Thursday. They have their practice packet and other worksheets in their binder.
***I will send home their graded quizzes tomorrow. Please go over it with your child, and use it to review. ***
Students will also work on a decimal math task, called Market Math, this week. Ask them about it!
Blue group will begin unit 1 of the 5th grade curriculum. Because this unit has several concepts, we separate it into 2 parts, A and B. Part A focuses on place value (including decimals), powers of ten, order of operations and mathematical expressions. Part B covers multiplication and division. This week we'll work on place value.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We will continue our focus on the New Nation unit. We will discuss the constitution and the Bill of Rights. We will also talk about the 3 branches of government and balance of powers. I will introduce the project that goes with the unit this week. If your child wants to work on the project over the break, they can, but IT IS NOT REQUIRED. I know some kids will ask me if they can, so the answer is yes. :)
The quiz will be the week we return from break.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
Thank you,
Nichole Bice
