Notes for the week...




**For the next few weeks, we will be using personal electronic devices regularly in class for Language Arts, Reading, and Math.  Please allow your child to bring his/her tablet or laptop to school. We will be using the applications Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Slides, so please ensure that these apps have been installed on your child's device.  We use these apps throughout the year for many different projects!

This week in class...

Language Arts

In Language Arts this week, we will continue with our guided reading novel Holes, by Louis Sachar.  Students will continue using Google Slides to respond to what they read throughout the book.

This week, we will use mentor sentences to model and imitate good language usage as we practice identifying parts of speech and revising writing to improve how it sounds.  We will also continue working on our Science Fair research papers using Google Docs.


Math


We will wrap up studying using equivalent fractions and least common denominators to solve addition, subtraction, and comparison problems with fractions this week. We will also be reviewing past material in preparation for our unit test. Students should bring their devices to class if possible to work on their self-created study guide. **When completing their IXL exercises students may stop at 80% if they wish.**

Homework:
Monday: One Xtramath.org lesson, Math IXL L.9
Tuesday: One Xtramath.org lesson, Math IXL L.8
Wednesday: One Xtramath.org lesson, Math IXL L.10
Thursday: One Xtramath.org lesson
Friday: Relax!

Science

This week we'll continue to observe our eco-column models and record our
observations. We'll continue to use the Sustainability Compass tool and the
Problem-Solving Pyramid to address how we can take better care of our
ecosystems here on campus by encouraging more recycling. We will also
continue to collect data for our science projects on decomposition rates of
man-made materials. We'll finish up the unit with a final review and test.

Thank you for all of your support, parents! Please feel free to email us if you have
any questions.

Ms. Amy and Mr. Andrew
