Math
This week in math we are adding and subtracting mixed numbers.
There will be math homework every night. Please check over their homework nightly. The homework is a spiral review of all the concepts that have been previously taught so far this year.
Science
In science we are learning about the sun, Earth, and moon. Students should be drawing the moon in their calendar. The completed calendar is due February 16th, 2016.
Thank you for helping!
Please continue to check student planners and sign them each night. We will communicate with notes, homework assignments, and learning tasks through this planner. This is a great way for you to communicate with us, too.
Please practice reading and math facts each night with you students when they do not have other assigned homework.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions!
