Homework and Happenings

Math  -

• Homework:  PW p. 30, 1-20
• Shop Till You Drop, Project Part 1 - Use the sale ad to create a grade-level appropriate multi-step word problem involving decimals.   Grade-level appropriate means that it should not only have addition, but also some multiplication or simple division.  Below is an example of a good project from last year.  On Monday, 10/7, the multi-step problem and step-by-step labeled solution is due. Problems may be hand written or may be typed - children's preference, but will need to be typed or written very neatly for the final project.  Next week, we will go over part two of the project which will involve putting the problem, solution, and pictures from the sales ad into a foldable and adding titles, labels, etc.  
• Journal check - next week 

Word Study

• Review words - study the second 5 words
• There will not be a master the meaning this week, but instead, the children will solve a crossword puzzle using the words and definitions so they will still need to know the definitions!  Spelling and dictation will be on Friday, as usual.  This will be our last word study grade of the nine weeks.

Science -

• No homework!
• The edible cell project due Thursday, 10/3.
• Cell Test, Friday 10/4 (study guide going home today)

Grammar -
