4th Grade Mar 4-8th

In math we are starting our measurement unit. We will be learning about the different ways to measure using the Customary and Metric systems. We are also still reviewing fractions. We had pretty low scores on our test last week. I’ve noticed that students are having trouble finding equivalent fractions with common denominators and having trouble simplifying their answers. We will be reviewing this in class. In writing we are starting our Biography Unit. Students will write a short biography of one of their classmates this week. On Thursday, students will receive a list of questions to take home. Right now, they are deciding whom they are going to write a biography on. It needs to be a relative that they can talk to. The relative MUST be older than them. When they get their list of questions, they need to talk to the relative and either write down the answers to the questions themselves, or have their relative write the answers to the questions. These question sheets are due on Tuesday March 12^th so we can start writing our paper then.

5th Grade Mar 4-8th

This week in math we took our Fractions Test. Our entire class did very poorly. I have given students the retake to take. If your student did not receive an 85% or better on this test, please encourage them to do the retake. I usually give out retakes to many students, but usually, only a few actually redo the test. They can have help with and use their book and notes on this test. This is an easy way for students to figure out what they were doing wrong on the first test, and to bring their grade up. Again, please encourage your student to do the retake so they can learn and get a better grade! In writing we are still working on our State Reports. This is the last week that we will be working on our note cards. All 25 informational note cards are due on Monday.
