     This week in math we will take a quiz on customary measurement conversions and benchmarks. Then we will begin working on time conversions, benchmarks, and elapsed time. 

      

*No i-Ready this week

     Students have homework assignments on the Freckle program this week. 

 Monday-Measurement Conversions  Thursday-Solve Problems Involving Time  These assignments are not due until Friday, however if students complete Monday night's homework on Monday it will give them an opportunity to review before the quiz on Tuesday. 

     If the STAR diagnostic pops up when students log in to do their homework, they should not complete the diagnostic at home. The district wants students to complete the STAR at school. 

     This week in science we will study heredity, instincts and learned behaviors. Students will learn that animals have sex cells that they inherit from both the male and female parent. We will also learn about learned behaviors and instincts in animals. Some things animals are born knowing how to do and some they have to be taught (learned behaviors) and some animals are born knowing how to do (instincts). 

                  

Monday: Math i-Ready-No i-Ready this week.. Freckle: Complete Measurement Conversion Homework. FSA Practice Sheets Pages 19 and 20 (due Friday).

     This week in math, we will study customary measurement. In module 2 we only covered metric units and conversions. Students have to identify appropriate units to use to measure various objects. For example an ounce would be the most appropriate unit to use for measuring the weight of a grape. An inch would be the unit to use for measuring the length of a pencil, while a mile would be the best unit to use for measuring the distance from JBE to Everbank Stadium.

We will also learn how money and decimals are related. Students will learn what decimal part of a dollar each coin represents. Students will also learn how to add and subtract decimals. We will take our test on module 6 on this Friday.

     This week in math, students will learn how to compare decimals numbers. Our work will still only go to the hundredths place. We will use area models, number lines and place value grids to compare numbers using the <, >,  and = symbols. 

     Due to a change in district requirements I will now be assigning two lessons each week on i-Ready. Students will still be required to complete 40 minutes, but will not be required to complete a lesson from their path. They may need to work on lessons from their path in order to fulfill the 40 minute requirement. 

     The lessons that I assign one will come from previously taught content and the other will match the content that we are currently working on in class. Our classes successful completion of this work will result in us earning rewards. The awards list has not been finalized yet, but something like a donut party is being discussed. 

*40 Minutes

*Fractions As Tenths and Hundredths

*Rounding Whole Numbers

     This week in science, students will take their test for Unit 3 Earth's Place in Space. We will review on Monday and Tuesday and students will test on Wednesday. 

Monday: Math i-Ready-40 minutes, Teacher Assigned Lessons: Fractions as Tenths and Hundredths and Rounding Whole Numbers.  FSA Practice Sheets Pages 12 and 13 (due Wednesday). Get PMA 3 Report signed.

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

     We have definitely had some lion days lately. The wind blew so hard at my house this weekend. It sounded more like a hurricane than a nor'easter. Hopefully we will more lamb days ahead this week. 

     We are now officially in the fourth quarter. It feels just like yesterday we began the school year with fingers crossed that everything would okay and we would all be safe and healthy.

     Please do another supply check with your child. I have noticed that many students are in need of glue sticks, colored pencils/crayons and scissors. During this school year students are discouraged from sharing their supplies with others. 

     To have a little fun this quarter we will be doing 4th Quarter Dress Up Friday's. Please see the schedule below.

*Fractions Test

*Sprints 3, 7, 13

*Math Enrichment Activity

     This week in math we will continue learning about decimals. Students will learn how to show the equivalence between tenths and hundredths. Students will represent mixed decimal numbers using area models and number lines. Students will take a quiz on the material from module 6 on Friday.

     Students took a cumulative test last Wednesday. The test was taken on the computer. Student grades on the test will be written on the notebook paper that students used to work out problems. You might notice a difference between the grade on the paper and what is posted on FOCUS. I decided to give students the higher grade between what they earned on the test in Freckle and PMA #3. Their PMA score is their score without the three decimal standards that were included on the test. Since we had not yet covered those standards I didn't include them when calculating their grade. 

 *40 minutes

*Teacher Assigned Lesson: Factors

*At Least One Lesson from Student Path

     This week in science we will finish up our study of moon phases, We will move into lesson 4 How Does Technology Help Us Learn About Space? In this lesson students will learn about early astronomers and the invention of the telescope, space probes, the space race, Florida's role in the space program, and how space technology is used in our everyday lives. 

     We are planning to take the test on unit 3 on Tuesday March 30th. Student projects on the moon are due on Wednesday March 31st.
