We will continue our work on fact and opinion. We will also be doing a "Skill -A - Day" to help us review these reading skills in different context. 

Math Update

Our class is starting a new mathematics unit about fractions called Fraction Cards and Decimal Grids. During this unit, students represent halves, fourths, eighths, thirds, sixths, twelfths, fifths, and tenths; find equivalent fractions; and compare fractions. Students are introduced to decimal notation, represent decimals, and compare decimals. They begin computation with fractions: adding and subtracting fractions and multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Throughout the unit, students work toward these goals:

In our math class, students spend time discussing problems in depth and are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is important that your child solve math problems in ways that make sense to him or her. At home, encourage your child to explain the math thinking that supports those solutions. Please look for more information and activities about Fraction Cards and Decimal Grids that will be sent home in the coming weeks.
