Math
Module 19 – Graphing
We will continue to make, read, and interpret
picture and bar graphs.
Module 20 – Personal Financial Literacy
This unit teaches students the importance of
budgeting. We will talk about saving vs.
spending all the money one can earn.
Please read over the day’s lesson and choose one or
two problems to discuss with your child. If she or he can
teach the concept to you, then you know mastery has
occurred.

Math homework goes home every day, but Friday, in the red folder. It
is to be returned the next day. Homework is not graded, but checked,
and teachers keep track of whether the homework is done or not as a
report card requirement.
Timed math fact test goal sheets are to be kept in the back
pocket of your child’s red folder in order for you to know
what facts to study each week.
Please practice your math facts for at least 10 minutes
each night if you are not up to mixed practice to 20.
Woo Hoo! Congratulations to those
students who have already met their
timed math fact tests goal!
