WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

Math: Mrs. Bennett

Blue Group:

➗ Interpreting Remainders

This week, our class is learning how to interpret remainders in real-world division problems! We’ve been exploring the four different ways to handle a remainder — use it, report it, ignore it, or round it — depending on what makes sense in the situation. For example, students learned that sometimes you need to round up when dividing people into groups, while other times you report the remainder as part of the answer. We’ll be finishing our unit on dividing whole numbers this week, and students will take their unit test next week. Homework this week is designed to help them review and prepare, and a study guide is available. 

I am planning for the test to be Tuesday 10/28.

Homework: 10/20 - 10/24

•  SS #27

• SS #28

•  2 HMH Worksheet (Adjust Quotients and Estimate Quotients)

*All due Friday 10/24

🎃 Haunted Yard Perimeter Challenge

This week, students will work on a fun Halloween-themed math activity called the “Haunted Yard Perimeter Challenge!” Each student will design their own spooky yard and figure out if they have enough fencing to go all the way around. To solve the problem, they will use the perimeter formula (P = 2 × length + 2 × width) and work with fractional side lengths, such as 5 ⅝ feet or 3 ⅘ feet. This will give students meaningful practice with adding and multiplying mixed numbers that have unlike denominators, all while applying these skills to a real-world situation. It will be a great way to blend creativity, problem-solving, and math reasoning!

Homework: 10/20 - 10/24

•  SS #27

• SS #28

•  1 HMH Worksheets (Perimeter with Fractional Side Lengths)

*All due Friday 10/24

Religion: Mrs. Crush

We will continue Chapter 6: The Holy Family. Our students will:

• learn that the Temple of Jerusalem was the central place of worship for the people of Israel during Jesus' day.

• learn that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph modeled justice and other related virtues through their obedience to Jewish laws and customs concerning worship.

• come to know how every member of the Holy Family loved with obedience to God and one another.

• begin to understand that prayer is a just response of worship to God.

• know that we imitate Mary through the practice of mental prayer.

Words to Know: gratitude, generosity, Holy Family, mental prayer
