Math
The fifth graders will finishing up Chapter 4 on Data & Graphs this week. We will review on Wednesday and hold a test on Thursday. They seem to be generating many ideas for their graph project which is Due on Friday, 12/21. We will continue to review skills needed for decimal division after the Christmas holiday break.
The fourth graders completed Chapter 4 Multiplication and Division last Friday. I was excited to see some of them using the program "Sumdog" to practice their multiplication and division skills. This program was introduced to them by the computer teacher, Mrs. Knight. This week, we will work on problem solving and extended responses, taking a quarterly assessment for the Diocese. This assessment will also be used as a quiz grade.
