In math we are going to begin learning about
decimals. We will learn how decimals and fractions relate, learn place value
with decimals, learn how to compare and order decimals, and learn how to round
decimals. We will also be taking a quiz to see how students are doing with
adding and subtracting fractions. It is important for students to remember that
they must have the same sized pieces, or the same denominator, in order for
them to add or subtract fractions. The hardest thing for students that I have
been seeing is simplifying fractions. Students are forgetting to simplify their
answers and are forgetting how to simplify. On homework, please remind your
student to simplify their answers! In writing we are continuing to work on our
Author Report. Students should have their rough draft completed by now. This
week in class we will be focusing on the poster part of their assignment. I
will be showing students in class exactly what is expected of them to do for
their poster. Students will have time in class to work on their poster. Please
send you student to school with their poster by Thursday at the latest. By the
end of this week students should have their poster completed. Next week they
will have time in class to finish what they haven’t gotten done on their report
and to practice their presentations. On Thursday February 28th we
will begin our oral presentations. Students must have their report completed and ready to present by Friday
March 1st at the latest.
