January 31-February 4

Reminder: If your child is absent, it is THEIR responsibility to come to me and make sure they have made up all missing work and tests.

Math: We just finished taking the first test on fractions and have begun unit 2. This week we will study adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions. Students will have homework Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. They have no homework Tuesday so that they can study for their Science test.

Writing: We are preparing for the DWA test in March. Students can take practice tests by going to www.utahwrite.com. Their username is their student ID number and the password is WRITE.

Reading: The genre for the book report this month is Fantasy! Students need to select a book this week and have it approved by me. I will give them their project information on Wednesday. This month will be simple.

Spelling: The packet is due and the spelling test is Friday. The words this week are: dawn, raw, autumn, crawl, thought, fault, lawn, automobile, fought, straw, daughter, all right, caught, already, bought, brought, wrong, taught, often, and awful. Look to the side bar for helping studying tips.

Science: The Physical Features test is Wednesday. Students have a study guide to help them prepare. We will start a new unit on Heredity on Thursday.

Social Studies: Students took the Revolutionary War test Tuesday. We will begin a unit on the government Wednesday.

If you have any questions, please write them in your child's planner or call me.
