This Week During Class...
Language Arts:
In reading, we continued to practice responding to text. The students
are starting to see that it is important to plan out what you want to
write. Then writing multiple sentences isn't so difficult. Hopefully this
practice will take some anxiety away from the PARCC tests.

In writing, we began the collecting stage. This is where an author does
research on their topic. The hardest part seemed to be asking
meaningful questions. Most of the students believed they knew all they
needed to about their topic.
Math:
In math, we used standard algorithm to help us solve story problems
using three digit numbers. We ended the week looking at dividing by
nines. Although nines seem to be the hardest, we have learned many
tricks to do our nine facts. Ask your child one of the tricks.
Social Studies:
In social studies, we discussed the roles of the vice president, governor,
and mayor. We learned how a bill becomes a law and ended
government learning about the national symbols.
Have a great weekend!
