     I have added some pictures to our Shutterfly page. Right now there are only pictures of the my homeroom, but more will be added soon. If you would like to join our Shutterfly page, please click on the link below. 

     This week in math we will learn how to use the partial products strategy, the distributive property and the standard algorithm to solve multiplication problems. Please examples below. 

partial products
distributive property


standard algorithm



     This week we will take our first timed quizzes for the second nine weeks. This nine weeks students will get 2 minutes and 30 seconds for each quiz. Also this nine weeks division quizzes will count for a grade. Please have students practice. The more they practice the easier they become. Timed quizzes will count for a classwork grade. 

     Students should be completing at least 15 minutes of Prodigy. I have noticed that students are not completing very many questions. Some students are spending the majority of their time on the program roaming through the villages and forests. In order to practice the assigned math students must engage in battles. In 15 minutes students should be able to complete 10-15 questions. If students are not completing a satisfactory number of questions they will not get full credit for their homework. Please make sure that students are writing down when they work on their technology logs. Students must turn in their logs each Friday.

     This week in science we will take a test on chapter 4 lessons 1, 2, and 4. Students will get a study guide in class on Tuesday to do for homework. We will check the guide on Wednesday and the test will be on Thursday.  Since this test only covers a portion of the chapter vocabulary will not be due.

     This week in social studies we will take the test on chapter 2. Students are allowed to use their books for social studies test, so please make sure students bring them to school on Friday. Social studies vocabulary is due on Friday. 

Have a GREAT week,

Aesha
