Weekly Update - February 16

There was a lot of love this week, especially on Valentine's Day (pictures to come)!  Take a look at what we've been up to in the classroom...

Rational Numbers
This week in our Rational Numbers unit, mathematicians focused on...
  • multiplying a whole number by a fraction and a whole number by a mixed number
  • solving problems involving time
Please remember to practice math facts nightly!

Geometry
This week students learned how to find unknown angle measures using addition and subtraction.  In Week 6, students will be learning concepts involving lines (parallel, perpendicular, etc).  The assignment is now open on the Math Google Classroom and in Pearson.

Science
The Ninjas will wrap up their Weather and Water unit with Ms. Hof on February 22 with the end of unit assessment.  Their study guides have been completed, and students should have brought them home to prepare for the assessment.

Reading
Students have continued to practice nonfiction reading concepts such as previewing texts, identifying main idea, and researching.  Our next reading unit is based in historical fiction.  Your child will prepare by researching a specific time period in order to gain background knowledge.

Read 30 minutes nightly!

Writing
We wrapped up our current writing pieces this week by...
  • revising our conclusions
  • adding purposeful text features
  • editing and celebrating
Upcoming Dates
  • 2/19: No School
  • 2/23: Abilities Awareness Day & Hat Day
