Writing

This quarter is all about

Math

Students have begun a Measurement unit! They are all very excited to be working with rulers and taking a break from fractions!

We will also be beginning to do AM (Accelerated Math). Students will have a goal to reach by the end of the quarter. They will have some time to work on AM in class but it will also be sent home as homework. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Students have been taking daily Math Fact Minute Timed Tests. They eagerly walk in each class period ready to try and move on to the next level!

Below is a link to a Math Facts game your child can play at home to practice their math facts!

Reading

We will begin reading one of my FAVORITE books, Wonder by RJ Palacio. LOVE THIS BOOK!! We will spend many weeks working through this story due to its length. We will be working on different reading comprehension strategies throughout the novel.

Students have their AR levels and goals. AR will be taken for a grade this quarter!
