Math

Math chapter retakes will be given this Friday. If your child is interested in retaking the assessment, please click here.
When it comes to area and perimeter, we have been discussing the connection between arrays and area. Below is a sample question of area and perimeter that your child may encounter on SBAC.

This past week we discussed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in depth and the impact he had on American history. Using the information we learned, students worked in partnerships to create complete sentences for the facts on our graphic organizer. We then worked together as a whole class to create a first draft for a paragraph about Dr. King.

Progress Reports: Progress reports went home on Friday. Please return a signed copy to school with your child.
