Weekly Plans 10/27

We had a really fun week last week with Community Reading Day.  We were lucky to have a parent volunteer read to our class.  Thank you!!

A few reminders this week:

The can drive is running from 10/27 - 11/7, please send in can goods/boxed goods.  We are not accepting any Ramen Noodles, peanut butter, expired or dented cans.  Any little bit will help families in the community.  Thanks for all your support.

The Scholastic book fair is running on Tuesday, October 28th.  Any student interesting in purchasing  books may bring cash or check made payable to Charlton PTO.

In Math this week, students are continuing to learn division with a one digit divisor.  Tonight's homework is Practice and reteaching 4.3 which deals with interpreting remainders.  Often in word problems a remainder is not an option.  My goal for the week is to have students be comfortable with words problems and determine what to do with the remainder (reasonableness).  Later in the week, I will introduce divisibility rules and provide more practice and projects on long division.

In science, we are continuing our unit on the Engineering Design Process.  We will have a lesson 1 quiz on Thursday including the following vocabulary works (engineering, technology, prototype, criteria).  We will complete wholly notes before the quiz so that students can utilize wholly notes, vocabulary and reread lesson 1 to be prepared for quiz.

Make it a great week!

Math Extra Credit

I have given the students another opportunity for extra credit.  All students will have a 17 problem practice test to complete for optional extra credit.  As with the other opportunity, it is due at test time on Wednesday.

Weekly Plans 10/20

We are extremely busy in class this week!  Don't forget picture retakes are on 10/20.

Math - In Math students will be testing on Topic 3 on Wednesday, October 22nd.  We have been reviewing in school and students are encouraged to complete the reteaching pages in the hard cover book pg 84 & 85 and will receive +5 points for completing all set examples (no partial credit).  On Thursday, we will start Topic 4 division of 1 digit divisors.  If your student needs review on basic facts, please work with them at home.  We have many apps and websites we can recommend to help reinforce basic facts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Science - We will be testing on Tuesday October 21st.  Students received study guides on Thursday.  They should also study all unit vocabulary, wholly notes, and reread chapters 1, 3 & 5.  In addition, students may study using the link included.  We used at school and students are welcome to use at home too.  On Wednesday, we will start the Engineering Design Process!!   If any parents should have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.  In addition, we have Community Reading Day on Thursday, October 24th.  I was very fortunate to have many parents volunteer. Unfortunately, it was first come first serve.  I will be in touch with any parent who volunteered to have the parents come in on another mutually agreed upon day.  Enjoy the week!!!https://www.superteachertools.net/jeopardyx/jeopardy-review-game.php?gamefile=1413759269#.VEUndfnF-Al
