     This week in math we will continue to work in module 5. This week we begin to focus on using the operations of multiplication and division to find equivalent fractions. 

     Just about everyone has completed their i-Ready Winter Diagnostic. Students will bring home their journals this week to show you their growth. I am very proud of the progress that students have made since the beginning of the year. Even if your child only grew a few points, please celebrate them and their results. 

     Students will need to complete 40 minutes for this week's homework. I am setting the calendar to show me everything from January 1st until January 22nd. The vast majority of students have already completed their minutes. I will communicate with students what if anything they need to do to complete their minutes for the week.

     This week in science we will begin working on our new unit, rocks and minerals. During the course of this unit we will study weathering and erosion, minerals, types and rocks and the natural resources found in Florida. This week we will begin learning the differences between weathering  and erosion. Weathering is the wearing down of rock on Earth's surface. Erosion is when the worn down rock gets moved away. As part of the discussion we will also learn about deposition. Deposition is when the moved rock is dropped in a new place. Students often confusion weathering and erosion because moving rock (erosion) also causes weathering. Moving rock and sand hits formations on earth surface and cause weathering.
