Friday, December 15, 2023 Homework

It was so lovely to see so many of your faces at the Christmas Show last night. The 5th grade class did an amazing job and so did the entire rest of the school. I was so proud of them. 
 
Math - None (Today we started learning how to divide decimals first by rounding them and then dividing decimals by other decimals. All work and practice was done in class with me today. I surprised students by letting them know that we will not have a Chapter 6 test and that all Volume 1 math books go home today. They worked very hard learning how to add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals the past few weeks.  Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home as we will be doing a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
 
Science - None  (Today we had our Chapter 2 Science test and the students were allowed to use their notes on the test. They all did a fabulous job!)
 
Social Studies - None (Today we read about the Vietnam War, which was a subject area the students wanted to learn about and I was able to fit into my lesson plans for this week. They had to read chapters 12, 13 & 14...which finishes the book. Then they answered the questions in the comprehension packet which also asked them to tell me what page they found the answer on....this is a very important concept to provide me with evidence of their answers. Most did finish it all and turned them in. This does count as a Quiz grade. If not finished, I'm giving them until next Wednesday to turn in books and packets.)
 
Reminders:
 
- I offer office hours Monday - Thursday if your child needs me to reteach something in Math, Science or Social Studies. Please email me for assistance and we will meet via google meet link. 
 
- I offer afterschool Math group tutoring on Thursday's of every week until 3:15pm. Some weeks we review and some weeks we go ahead and learn the next lessons. We will also work on strengthening our math facts in multiplication. It is $30 per week if you'd like to join. You can come and go from week to week, but it is very beneficial. Contact me with any questions. 
 
- Amazon wish list, if you can donate to our classroom... https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3RS691H76HBK0?ref_=wl_share
