MATH
Fourth Grade
This week we are reviewing for our Chapter
2 test which will be on Thursday and Friday. On Tuesday we will have a basic computation test for the
first quarter. Students will be
allowed to use their notes for both tests. I will send home “How to Study” worksheets that will be
worth two points if completed and signed.
I was really pleased with the Pumpkin Projects and how far the classes
have come in all multiplication strategies.
Fifth Grade
Last week, students were able to solve the creative Expression problems developed by other students. This week we begin working with Decimals in Chapter 3. We will cover lessons 1 - 4 and have a short quiz on Friday.
