Teachers' Notes
Be sure your student remembers to bring in GYM SHOES on P.E. days. Don't forget cold-weather gear for recess, since the office is not able to supply extra gear, including boots, gloves, hats, scarves, snow pants, and a winter coat.
I'm looking forward to Bookbowl! I hope you are as well! |

Math
Last Week
Students took the Unit 4 math assessment as well as the NWEA math assessment. They finished the week by reflecting on the goals they set for themselves.
Next Week
We will begin Unit 5 this week. Students will represent fractions as equal parts of different wholes and find all shapes with a given area. Fractions will be represented using standard notation, words, and drawings. Equivalent fractions will be represented using a visual model. In addition, we will work on problem solving.
Students should continue practicing their multiplication facts each night.

Mrs. Blair- Reading
Last Week: Students will learn about the five main text structures of informational text: description, sequence, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and problem and solution. They will then practice identifying the text structure of various informational text passages to further their understanding. Students took the NWEA assessment in reading on January 24, 2020 and Math NWEA on January 23, 2020. We still have some students that need to finish testing next week. Next Week: Students will continue to learn about text structures and key details of nonfiction text. The following week we will begin our focus on biographies. |
