Spring Break

Educational Targets:

Math:

Students will be starting a new unit on geometry in chapter 10 and chapter 11. They will also be creating their own “geometry town” to apply the learned concepts.

Science/ Social Studies:

We are bouncing back to magnetism this week before Spring Break where students will be building electromagnets, testing the strength of the electromagnet, and reinventing the telegraph.

Language Arts:

Their reading comprehension skill this week is still making generalizations as we work with leveled readers. The grammar skill is still irregular verbs and they will be given more time to finish their final copy in order to publish their fantasy story in a book. We didn’t want to start a new writing assignment with Spring Break next week.

Have a good night.

Mar.7, 2018

The math homework tonight is to complete a review of converting a fraction greater than 1 to a mixed number and a mixed number to a fraction greater than 1. This is to be done on Think Central where they will find it assigned to them when they log in.

Have a good night.

Mar.6, 2018

Parents,

We reviewed adding and subtracting mixed fractions today. There homework is on that concept again but assigned on Think Central. Your child should know their username and password to get on. They should access it via the Crossroads homepage. Have a good night.

Mar.5, 2018

Parents,

Tonight's math homework is on adding and subtracting mixed numbers on pg.427 - 428 in their math book. The subtraction is very easy since they only need to subtract whole numbers and the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. The adding takes on another step in many cases when the fraction is a fraction greater than 1 or also called an improper fraction. The video below will help you assist your child, if needed. Below you will find this week's G Force Gazette.
