Week of August 10

Please make sure that your child packs their book bag each night so that they have their textbooks, toolkit, agenda, math folder, homework, and classroom packets.

The classwork scheduled for this week is:

Math
Classwork: We will continue working on our whole number unit. Students  have a packet filed in their math folder and we started this week working on multiplying by Powers of 10 and will move on to multiplying using the algorithm.

Homework: Please make sure that your child is fluent with their multiplication and division facts through the 12s. If you need flash cards, they are available at the Dollar Stores, Walmart, and Target. Some of the websites located on this blog will also allow you to print flash cards at home. When you see the cc written in your child's agenda, it means they should finish the page we were working on during class. If they do not have a page with unanswered problems, they have probably finished what they needed to.  In my 1st block class, students should be going onto the Renaissance Learning Website to complete  8 problems each night. Students in my 2nd Block class have a printed handout of their work. All student should scan on the 4th school day after receiving an assignment. Students should easily be able to complete their homework in 20 minutes.

Science
Classwork: We are working on the Cells and Microorganism unit. Students  have a packet filed in their science section of their toolkit. We are learning how to use a microscope and are working on focused reading activities. We will finish Chapter 5, Lesson 1 this week.

Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review/study the materials covered in class. They need to begin developing good study habits.

Social Studies
Classwork: We will  begin Chapter 11, Lesson 2 this week. Students will read the lesson in their Reading class and we will begin working on packet activities on Wednesday. We will begin with Citizen Rights and Responsibilities and will move on to the Amendments.

Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review/study the materials covered in class. They need to begin developing good study habits.
