Merry Christmas! We are looking forward to a good week ending with the Christmas Show and Party!
MATH
Fourth Grade
This week we will be having our 2nd
Diocesan Test on Area and Perimeter. We will do a practice one on
Wednesday. Your student will have a packet to complete by Friday, since the
week is filled with activities and rehearsals. On Friday I will hand out a fun
packet to do over the break that will be worth 20 extra points if completed. Merry
Christmas!
Fifth Grade
5th graders will continue with Chapter 5, Dividing with Decimals. On Wednesday, we will practice for our 2nd Diocesan test on Thursday. Students will receive an assignment over break to practice decimal division, since the Chapter 5 test will not be until the week of January 5th. They will also receive instructions for a Decimal Project that will be due January 16th, just in case they want to start getting their ideas organized over break. No Facts quiz this week.
4th & 5th Grade Multiplication Facts
Most fourth graders should aim for completing 25 facts per minute and fifth graders should aim for completing 30 facts per minute. You can print your own worksheets from Math-drills.com, play online games (see "Math Websites Tab" above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.

event. The children are looking forward to their concert and Christmas party as
well as staying focused on celebrating the Birthday of Jesus. Have a happy and
Holy Christmas!
