No School on Tuesday, January 7th! Enjoy your extra day off - stay warm!
In math, we'll begin work on dividing fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by fractions. 5th grade curriculum does not include dividing fraction by fractions. Our test will probably be next Friday, 1/17.
We will not have word work this week since it's ended up being a short week. The children will get the word list and definitions on Friday so that they can get an early start.
My homeroom will begin their science rotation on Wednesday. We will be studying The Sum of its Parts, The Microscope, and Matter. I will be once again asking for your help with some items for science activities and experiments. We'll be making pancakes to illustrate a chemical OR physical change (Do you know which it is?), trail mix and kool-aid to illustrate mixtures and solutions. I'm asking each family to help with one item or a $3 donation, if possible. If not, please just let me know and I'll make other plans. I appreciate your help! Letters with the item requested will go home on Wednesday! In addition, we are going to need color comic strips from the newspaper or comic books. If you get the Sunday paper and could send in the comic section, we'd appreciate it!!!
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
