This Week!
What are we currently learning?
Math- Students will continue working with whole numbers and expressions in module one. They will take their first Module test on Friday, August 28th.
ELA- Students will continue unit 1: In My Own Words: Personal narratives. Please have students come back with thier take home assignment: 5.1 Name Research.
Social Studies- Students will continue learning about the constitution and the three branches of government.
Science- Students will continue exploring patterns of earth and sky in unit 1.
The school day begins at 8:30am and is dismissed at 3:30pm. Your child is expected to be in their seat, ready to learn no later than 8:30am, or they will be considered tardy (aside from buses arriving late or inclement weather). Students who eat breakfast in the morning will head straight to the cafeteria as soon as they arrive.
Students are expected to follow directions, respect their peers and teachers, and work hard. If students do not demonstrate appropriate grade behavior, then consequences will be put in place.
While homework isn't assigned every night, your child may come home with some. In our class, if students don't complete work in class, it goes home for homework. This goes primarily for blue Math worksheets but can also be applied to Reading station work. We will begin using our planners once we get into a full week of learning, so be checking that to see what work your child might be coming home with to complete! The expectation is that work that isn't finished will be circled or highlighted in the planner so you and your child know what they need to complete that night.
Please review the school district's grading scale shown on the right.
