Hello! The homework tonight is:
Math Facts Practice Sheet
Vocabulary "assessment" (We usually do these as vocabulary assessments in class, but it's homework this week instead!) We have been studying these vocabulary words this week, so just fill in the missing word from the word box given.
Reading!
Also, please practice math facts frequently (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). This will greatly improve fluency! :)
1 more day until spring break! Wahoo!
Since many of you won't read my post tomorrow (I don't blame you!), have a great spring break! Enjoy your time off from school, but.... IF you miss doing math, feel free to log into Dreambox or Prodigy! ;)

Students are also supposed to ask you a question tonight! The question is, "What do you think will hit the ground first if dropped at the exact same time from the same height- a ping pong ball or a golf ball?" We have been doing some science experiments in class involving gravity and forces. :)
Have a good one!

Hello! Sorry this post is going up later than usual! I had some meetings after school!
The homework is Dreambox (10 minutes) and Reading (20 minutes)
If you have some extra headphones or earbuds that your child can use for school, please have them bring them in. They will keep them in their desk, so they will be the only ones using them. Just old iPhone earbuds are perfect if you have an extra pair lying around! :)
Progress reports came home today, so please be on the lookout for those. If you could detach the bottom portion of the progress report, sign it, and send it back, that would be great. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
The math mid-module test scores went home yesterday, as well. This was the fractions test that was taken last Friday.
Have a good day! :)

Review the math practice test I sent home today. These review the basic concepts for our math test on Friday. This is not required math homework, but I told students it is strongly recommended they work through these problems before the test. We will review this tomorrow during class and go over any questions they have so they are prepared for Friday! Let me know if you have any questions!

Math Mid Module Assessment
Hello!
I have attached a picture of a practice mid-module assessment for fractions. This test will occur on Friday, so if you would like to work with your child on these concepts at home, you now have the resources! I am sending home a copy to all students tomorrow, so be on the look out. This is NOT mandatory math homework, but just some study material to ensure your child is ready for the test on Friday.
* There is a type-o on #2! :/ The problem should state, "Write a fraction to show how much of the fraction strip Sylvia DID NOT shade!

Spelling Homework for Wednesday night
*An orange piece of paper was sent home yesterday for your child to bring in a rock (a smooth, oval-shaped rock preferred) so they can paint a fish on it and it can be displayed out in front of our school. The fish idea goes along with a story that was read on Hawk Talk. If your child would like to have their "fish" displayed in the front of the school, please have them bring in a rock and sketch their fish on the orange piece of paper provided. Please bring it in by Friday. :)
Have a great night!

Hello!
The homework tonight is:
Login to Dreambox
Reading 20 minutes
Your child came home today with a letter stapled to a 3x5 card. The 3x5 card contains your child's username and password to access the website, so please keep this 3x5 card in a safe place. There is a copy of the letter below. This letter is from Dreambox, a mathematical program designed to provide students with a fun way to practice their math skills. The program is leveled, so it will adjust to your child's needs and become increasingly more difficult as they master concepts. The program is designed to "fill the gaps" in your child's math, while encouraging them to expand their current math knowledge. We tried it in class today and the students were very engaged, so I hope they enjoy using it at home.
Text me on Remind if you have any problems with their login. Keep in mind it is case sensitive, so make sure everything is in lowercase letters. Also, please keep in mind that you cannot simply do a google search for "dreambox". It will not allow you to login. You must type in the url below to access the site. I have also posted the url on the website in the upper right hand corner under "academic resources". :)
Lastly, it was a pleasure seeing many of you at the Book Fair today! I hope your child found some gems. In case your child was not able to purchase anything today, the Book Fair will be open all week and students can go during lunch and/or after school with a parent.
**** If you are using an ipad, make sure you use the ipad link on the letter.
