Welcome to a four day week! We will be busy but have fun too!
I would like to point out that HW is becoming an issue again. 11 assignments were missing today and 18 were turned in with no name. Your students know we will be working on this but anything you can do at hw time to help with binder and assignment checking would be a huge help.
We will continue to study long division this week. I will post a video next around the correct steps. We have been working on it now for 3 days and it should be getting easier. Feel free to help your mathematician at home on 1-2 problems but let them do the remaining 2-3 problems on their own. Again, knowing math facts will really help this process!
In Reading workshop we will conclude our unit on summarizing. They are getting better! The big idea is to only include the important details. We have moved from comics to short stories and will conclude the week by summarizing their partner books.
It is time to draft our Essays. We have done a lot of work prepping and organizing for this. I hope to have completed drafts by Friday! Then we will work on revising and making this work the best it can possibly be.
Our study of Colonial NY is coming to a close this week as well. Today we had a pop quiz to check for understanding and make sure everyone is paying attention to the work they have done in class. It was not great. We will be reviewing all of this information and taking a test on Friday.
Thanks for all that you do at home. You are wonderful!
