I hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving break!
In Social Studies, the students will begin preparing for their American Revolution assessment by filling out a study guide. We will go over the guide in class on Tuesday and Wednesday. The assessment will be broken up into smaller portions, and will begin on Thursday.
In ELA, we are drafting an opinion piece. The students will be using an opinion writing checklist and meeting in writing partnerships.
In math, we'll be adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, and we'll be adding and subtracting improper fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators. You can support your child's learning by helping review how to convert improper fractions and mixed numbers. Go to[ http://www.learnzillion.com ]www.learnzillion.com. Type in these codes in the search box to watch tutorials (in this order): LZ84, LZ85, and LZ86. We'll also review comparing and ordering fractions with like and unlike denominators. You can look for them to make number lines, draw models, find common denominators, and use benchmark fractions (like 1/2).
In science, we'll finish our light unit and take an assessment Wednesday or Thursday. Terms to study: transparent, translucent, opaque, reflection, refraction, absorption, prisms, visible spectrum, convex lens, and concave lens. Tell your child to show you his or her science journal for some good notes and drawings! We'll start our sound unit after that.
MAP Testing schedule:
Friday, 12/6 (Math); Monday, 12/9 (Rdg); Tuesday, 12/10 (ELA) 7:55-9:00
Have a great week! -Miss Ary
