.Greetings and Happy New Year!
I hope you are enjoying your break! Teachers had a work day today to prepare for the kiddos' return next week.
A BIG heartfelt thank you for all of the wonderful cards and gifts. I was truly spoiled:).
The kids had a great time at the holiday party the Friday before break. Thank you to Lindsay Phillips for organizing and the amazing parents who helped out!!
Reminders:
** This weekend is a great time to have your child clean out and organize his/her backpack and binder. We are starting fresh in math and science next week.
**Don't forget to you look in your child's agenda for important assessment dates and extra practice :).
** Report cards will go home January 13.
Next week in...
MATH
Purple group will start unit 4 part B, multiplying and dividing fractions. They will receive a practice packet, and I will assign homework on Tuesday and Thursday for extra practice.
Blue group will start unit 1 part B, multiplication and division. I'm including those standards below. The best way to do well on these concepts is to practice practice practice!
MGSE.5.NBT.5 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm (or other strategies demonstrating understanding of multiplication) up to a 3 digit by 2 digit factor.
MGSE.5.NBT.6. Fluently divide up to 4- digit dividends and 2-digit divisors by using at least one of the following methods: strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations or concrete models. (e.g., rectangular arrays, area models).
SCIENCE
We are starting the Sound and Light unit next week. The first part of the unit will focus on Sound. Students usually really like this unit because it's something they can really relate to, but they learn some interesting new facts to share... ask them about it!. Students will have vocabulary and notes in their binder.
Please enjoy the last few days of break, and let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nichole Bice
