2/6 Homework Update

Good afternoon,

I will no longer post every homework assignment.  See your child's agenda or email me if you are unsure about what your child should do.  I will post some things we are doing this week in class.  Please read the newsletter for math. Topic E Letter

We will have a Science quiz.  Ask your child for their Earth Materials Notebook and talk about some experiments we did in class with the Mock Rocks and scratch test.  I will not do a study guide this time.

In reading, we are analyzing the Green Book Chapter 4 and will begin reading Chapter 5.  We will also look at some story elements we have discussed in class such as analyzing the character(s) and the setting.

On tonight's homework... 2/2

Good afternoon,

On the math sheet, #2 & #3 answer choices do not match the problem.  Just answer the problem.

Tonight's Homework with Help

Good afternoon,

Here is tonight's homework:

Reading: Read 20 minutes and complete Character Map

Math: Study 11's multiplication; Complete circled problems on Lesson 13 and 14 Homework (So sorry the papers got stapled the wrong way)- Lesson 13 problems 1c, 1e, 1f, 2, 3; Lesson 14 problems 1c, 1d, 1f, 2c, 2e, 3, 4

Homework Help Links:

Lesson 13

Lesson 14

Note to parents: Some students understood the concept but may need extra support.  To put numbers on the number line, I asked "How many tens or hundreds are in the number you are rounding?" Problem 4 for Lesson 14 may be a challenge for some.  Make sure they are explaining their thinking.

Always remember: If your child is struggling with understanding the concepts, email me or write a note and I will address the issue.

What is my child learning in math? Here's a link explaining Topic C...

Here is a link (Module 2 Topic C) to the Topic C parent newsletter.  Please feel free to read up on what your child will be learning the next 2 days.  We are focusing on rounding so this would be helpful information to help your child succeed!!!
