Greetings Parents:
I hope you had a nice weekend despite the bad weather. Only 8 more days until Holiday break!
This week in...
MATH
Red group will take their Unit 3 test Wednesday. We have spend a lot of class time reviewing the concepts. Tomorrow will be a review day also. Your child should have practice problem sheets in their binder and there are videos on google classroom.
Blue group took their unit 7 test today. They will work on a math task Wednesday and Thursday. Since multiplication and division are part of the first unit of 5th grade, we will be reviewing those strategies as well. We will start unit 1 when we return from Holiday break.
Purple group will finish a task they have been working on. We will start to go over some of the strategies for their next unit, adding and subtracting fractions.
Science
This week we are talking about characteristics of stars and planets. Students are taking notes in class during our discussions, as well as completing various activities that support the unit. Their test will be Tuesday, 12/18. I will tell them exactly what to study, so they should be prepared. (phases of the moon chart, planets vs. stars Venn diagram, 6 vocab words, and a few questions from the notes).
If you know that your child will not be here next Tuesday for the test (or after), please let me know. They can take it this Friday. Otherwise, they will have to take it when they return.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Nichole Bice
