Greetings parents:
I hope you've had a nice weekend.
Last week we had the Boosterthon pep rally. Dolvin is raising funds to put towards technology. The Boosterthon Fun Run will be this Friday. The kids are really excited!
This week in...
MATH
Red group is working on decimals and fractions. They will have a short quiz Tuesday 2/26 on equivalent decimal fractions, adding decimal fractions, placing them on line plots, and comparing decimal fractions. On Wednesday, they will begin ordering decimal fractions. Their test will be the following week.
Blue group will have a quiz on Multiplication strategies this Tuesday. They will start division strategies Wednesday. Students are doing well with the strategies, but tend to make careless errors on multiplication and/or addition. Please have them practice problems at home. 3 or 4 practice problems a day would be great. An example problem would be
243 x 24 = . They should be able to show you 2 different strategies to solve the problem. Their unit test will be the week of 3/4.
Purple group started working on making line plots with fractions last week. This week we will work on creating and answering questions about the data in the line plots. Their quiz will be Thursday, 2/24 on multiplying and dividing fractions and line plots. Their test will be the following week.
SCIENCE
We have been learning about Sound in science. Ask you child about it! This week they will learn how pitch and volume can be changed. I will also introduce a project that I think they will really like! Their science quiz will be Wednesday 2/27. They should review the sound notes and vocab. The Brainpop and Study Jams videos on Sound are really helpful too. We will start the second part of the unit on "Light" Friday.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nichole Bice
