Being in the new building had been so exciting. We are at different places in the Everyday Math curriculum, however, both classes are moving forward at a great pace. Ms. McNinch's homebase is finishing up Unit 5 on Fractions, Decimals, and Percents and is getting ready to forward to Unit 6 on graphing and a review of fractions. Mrs. Burton's homebase is about half way through Unit 5 on Fractions Decimals and Percents. We are focusing on fractional parts of a whole, mixed numbers/improper fractions, and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. Please take time to read the Unit 5 Family Letter or the Unit 6 Family Letter. The letters provide relevant definitions, at home activities, AND answers to the Study Link hw assignments!
Remember to use the resources that are posted on my website. Useful websites are posted as discovered or as needed/requested under important links, and homework is posted almost daily under assignments. Since the school's internet blocker keeps me from updating my site from school, I have found an alternate way to post my daily hw. Follow the link on the assignments page. Students may also check out a SRB (reference book) from the class to use at home as needed.
We finished up our RiverCutters science unit. The students learned alot about how water changes the land. They also learned the importance of writing lab reports. Now we have begun our study of Weather and Climate. Students should be watching the weather report daily. Not only should they be watching for the temperature but also to hear why the weather is the way it is. We have already focused our study on the water cycle and clouds.
