In math, we will continue more practice on adding and subtracting mixed number with regrouping. There will be a quiz on Tuesday. On Friday, I will be introducing multiplying fractions.
We are getting prepared for the Milestone. In writing, we will read examples of narrative endings. Students will practice developing a
new type of ending for a text that has been shared during instructional lessons. They will also complete a task of
changing the point of view of a text. This will take place over the next 2 weeks. These will just be a
conclusion or introduction paragraph. In summation, the students will write a narrative essay applying all the standards that have been taught. This will be presented almost as the Milestone but they will have 2 writing blocks to complete the essay
independently.
Students will be taking a reading comprehension quiz on their novel study. Those reading
Bridge to Terabithia will cover chapters 5-8.
The Mouse and the Motorcycle readers will cover chapters 5-7. Those who were behind in reading were to read over the weekend.
Remember: Wednesday is Early Release
Thursday is our STEM Day
Please reinforce with your child the importance of completing homework independently to model what they truly independently understand.
