Broncos for the Win! (02/08-02/11)

Hello parents! We hope that you enjoyed spending time with your family and friends watching the Super Bowl last night. I know that I was pretty excited to see the Broncos win! I understand there is a  chance that we will be getting a lot of snow tonight, but here is what will be happening this week! I will keep you updated on Remind if there are any changes.

Math - We continue to work our way through Unit 5 which concentrates on Fractions. Your child will be required to add and subtract fractions this unit. If they are struggling with their homework, please note this at the top of their worksheet so I am able to work with them on it the following school day. Please work on practicing fact fluency at home with your child as well. This helps make mathematical concepts much easier.

Science - Our adaptations and patterns unit is coming to an end. A study guide is being sent home tonight for the students to study from. I will also try and post the answer key to this blog so you may access it at home. Please study with your child tonight to ensure they do well on their test tomorrow. If there is a snow day tomorrow, the test will be whatever school day that they would return. We will be starting our unit on Environment and Ecology next.

Reading- Reading different nonfiction text and analyzing its structure

Writing- We will be starting a unit on Informational writing soon

Social Studies- The students will learn about William Penn's impact and how the colonies became unhappy with England's rule


Word Work- Tic Tac Toe spelling homework is due Wed, Feb. 10th


Sincerely,
Ms. Duke and Miss Harlacker
