Friday, October 17

IOWA test of basic skills is scheduled for next week: October 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24.

Math

  • Homework: none
  • Some children had trouble with multiplying and dividing with powers of ten today when we were working on both.  Grades for those are on the portal.  Children with scores below a 75 need to work on making corrections on their papers and we'll have a working lunch next week to follow-up and reteach!
  • Shop Till You Drop project - part 1 due Monday, October 20.  A sample of a problem and labeled solution is below.  Children do NOT have to type the problem, but certainly may if they wish.  Part 2 will be due Monday, October 27.



  • Decimal Multiplication & Division Test next week (Thursday - class 1, Friday - class 2)

Word Study

  • No word study/spelling next week due to ITBS testing.

Science (Morand's Class)

  • No homework!
  • Microorganism test on Tuesday. Children that want to begin studying early should study their vocabulary cards and the harmful/beneficial microorganism notes we took this week! 
  • Microorganism Wanted Poster due Friday, 10/24.  We've worked on this for the last two days at school.  Most children were able to get their research complete and the information typed up! 

Reading Log

  • Fill in your reading log each night. Turn reading log in on Mondays!
