     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.

*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.

    This week in math we will complete our work on fractions. Our test will be on Thursday. Students will also take the Math PMA #3. The PMA will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. When we return from Spring Break we will begin our work in decimals. 

*40 minutes

*Teacher Assigned Lesson: Decompose Fractions

*At Least One Lesson from Student Path

     This week in science we will begin our study of space. During this unit we will learn the difference between Earth's rotation and Earth's revolution and the impact both have on our daily lives. In third grade students learned about constellations. In fourth grade students will learn why the positions of those constellations appear to move across the sky and why we see different constellations throughout the year. We will also learn about the phases of the moon. And finally we will learn about the impact that space exploration has had on our state. 

     For our study of moon phases students are required to describe the changes in the observable shape of the moon over the course of a month. Students will be working on a month long project to observe the moon. Students are coming home today with a moon calendar. Students just need to use a pencil to shade the the shape of the moon each day for the month of March. Since the moon rises at different times depending on the phase, I will have a calendar in the room that students are welcomed to copy. Students can also use the following website https://stardate.org/nightsky/moon 

     Students can still earn extra credit for bringing in items related to our study of rocks and minerals. I am now opening it up to items related to space. This can be items from trips to the Space Center and books on space that students have read.
