HORN

This week in Math we will begin
a new unit in multiplication called The Big Dinner. Students will work to
figure out the price of a turkey, using various strategies they’ve invented
so far. On the following day we will also have a gallery walk and a math
congress as well. Students will also engage in a lesson that encourages the
usage of ratio tables. We will start our fluency PowerPoint and learn new
strategies for various multiplication facts.
·
This week in Science we
will continue our human body unit. We’ve been discussing our joints and how
important they are to help us to everyday activities. This week students will
engage in several tasks in Science that help demonstrate the importance of
our joints, their role in helping our body move, and joint names.

HOMEWORK

WOODS:
-Students
must read for 20 minutes each night & record the number of pages they
have read in the Agenda/Husky Pad.
-New!! PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE INFORMATION
REGARDING THE CHANGES TO EXPECTATIONS FOR NIGHTLY READING AND LOGGING: This
trimester we will try something new with the logging of our reading. Students
will now be asked to log their nightly reading on a biweekly reading log. They
will still be required to record the title of the book they read and the
pages they’ve read, but they will also be asked to record information about
their comprehension. Each night they will indicate whether they understood
what they’ve read, and once a week they will be asked to demonstrate their comprehension
of what they have read by writing a short reflection on their reading. More
details will follow soon!
HORN:
Students
must complete 30 minutes of Dreambox this week at home. Additional (low
amount of problems) homework may be given if the teacher sees the need for
practice of a particular skill. Remember Dreambox records time from Sunday to
Saturday.
