Families, we are constantly reflecting on day to day instruction and how to improve student learning. We are going to be doing a "re-boot" in our classrooms this week to remind ourselves of what learning should really look like and sound like. Please ask your child at home about some of the things we are doing.
Word Study Update
We will be NOT doing Word Build this week, just wrapping up any activities not completed last week.

Related Activities to Try at Home
The activities below are related to the mathematics in the unit Fraction Cards and Decimal Grids. You can use the activities to enrich your child’s mathematical learning experience. Fraction and Decimal Scavenger Hunt At school, students are working on understanding fractions and decimals. Be on the lookout for examples of fractions or decimal numbers in your world—in the kitchen, in a toolbox or a sewing kit, in grocery or hardware stores, or in magazines and newspapers. Take these opportunities to talk with your child about what the fraction or decimal means. Fair Shares You can build on the work of this unit at home by capitalizing on everyday situations that involve fractions. Issues of fairness often offer good examples of fractions. After making a batch of brownies and giving away part of the batch to the neighbors, you want to divide what’s left equally among 3 people.
- What is 13 of 18 brownies?
- What if you want to divide it equally among 6 people?
- What is 16 of 18 brownies?
Three people are sharing a pizza: 13 has mushrooms, 13 has pepperoni, and 13 has onions.
- What might the pizza look like?
Fractions in the Kitchen Cooking is another great way to learn about fractions. Ask your child questions such as, How can we measure 3/4 cup? Look together at how the fractions appear on a measuring cup. Doubling recipes or cutting them in half can help your child understand relationships such as 1/3 cup + 1/3 cups = 2/3 cup or 2 X 1/3 cup = 2/3 cup.
