Week of January 11, 2016



Hi Everyone,

     Needless to say I am floating on a cloud this week. The University of Alabama Crimson Tide is once again National Champions!! The Clemson Tigers put up a good fight but Alabama was able to come up with a win.

     This week in math we will have our end of module assessment.  Students will have a two part test. Part of the test will be on the computer and part of the test will be paper pencil. The students will begin the computer portion of the test on Tuesday. They will take the paper pencil portion of the test on Thursday. The test will cover everything in module 3-- factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers, multiplication, division, and multi step/multi operation word problems. The written portion of the test will also have some previously taught items (rounding numbers, comparing numbers, recognizing numbers in different forms, and converting units of measure). After testing is complete we will be moving on to fractions and decimals.

     This week in science we will take a test on force and motion, chapter 6. The test will be on Wednesday. Since we have only spent one week on this unit the students will be allowed to use their books to complete the test. Next week we will begin learning about plants and animals.  

Have a great week!!!
