Week of 4/4

 

Happy Monday Everyone,

     On this Thursday students will take their FSA Writing Test. The test is 120 minutes with a short break in the middle. The break will only be long enough for students to have a short stretch break. Please make sure your child eats a filling breakfast. We will not have snack until after 11:00. 
     We will reward our Starfish Sprint Incentive of Pajama Day this Friday. Students are welcome to wear their favorite pjs. Please make sure that your child still wears their regular school shoes.

     This week in math, we will continue our work with decimals. This week we will learn how decimals and money are related. Students will also learn how to add, subtract and multiply decimal numbers. These skills will be applied when students solve word problems involving decimals. 
     We will also revisit area and perimeter problems. This time the dimensions of the shapes will include decimal numbers. 

     This week we will continue the Superintendents Freckle Math Challenge. Each week beginning the week of 3-28 through 4-29 I will assign standards based lessons through our Freckle platform. Each week Ms. Mattingly will announce the top classes and students in grades 3-5.

     This week in science we will begin learning about the phases of the moon. Please make sure your child is working on their Moon Calendar projects. Please use https://stardate.org/nightsky/moon to keep up with the phases of the moon. Students should use a pencil to shade out the part of the moon that we can not see. By the end of this week your child should be able to explain to you why the moon appears to change shape through out the month.
