We will represent fractions on a number line and compare fractions with either the numerator or the denominator the same. We are beginning to reduce fractions.
Personal Finance: We will continue to define and explain: Supply and Demand; hourly wages; salary wages; interest (paid and earned); loans, credit, and cash; reasons for saving money and other related topics.
STAAR Review: We will review all content using STAAR questions to prepare for the upcoming test on April 21.

New Attendance Incentives for 3-5 grades:
Students will be able to earn privileges for continued on-time attendance without early releases. Here's the scoop:
Students with zero absences for the week (Monday-Friday) will receive a bonus Raven Buck on Friday.
Students with zero absences for the month will earn a FREE homework pass at the end of October, November, and December.
Students with no absence, tardy or early release for one week (Monday-Friday) will be honored with the "Right On-Time Raven" Award which will be attached to their desk. (A tardy, early release, or absence will restart the On-Time Raven rewards.)
Each additional week of perfect, on-time, all day attendance, they will earn beads for their sign. The more consecutive days they maintain, the more beads they will earn.
Students who miss school without an approved written excuse from a doctor or a parent will complete an Attendance Reflection page to help them understand the importance of attending school every day.
