Week of January 4, 2016

Welcome Back!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and is ready to begin the second half of fifth grade.

Congratulations to Samantha Snyder and Sophia Rodriguez-Flores for their awesome winning research papers. They will be attached to the blog this week.

The classwork scheduled for this week is:

Math
Classwork: We are working on dividing decimals and word problems this week. We will have a SUMMATIVE TEST on multiplying and dividing decimals early next week.

Homework: When you see the cc written in your child's agenda, it usually 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 will begin the Chemistry Unit this week.

Homework:  Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review the completed pages in the Chemistry Packet.

Social Studies
Classwork: We will continue to work in the Westward Movement Packet. We will have a SUMMATIVE TEST next week.

Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review the completed pages in their packets.
