Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences
Reminders:
- Please make sure your child has completed their math assignment each day. Students usually get time in class to work on their assignment, if not it becomes homework.
- Check out your child's planner to see what they are learning each day!
- Want to know how your child is doing at school? Look at the Pirate Privilege chart located at the front of their planner. This is where letters are taken for behavior, incomplete/late work, and tardiness.
What's Happening?
Math
If you feel your student is struggling on math concepts, or you wish for them to have extra practice, have them get on Prodigy. Log-in username and passwords were sent out last week to each student. If you are not familiar with Prodigy, it is an interactive game that most students enjoy to play that helps students practice math concepts! Click here to go to the website.
DO NOT FORGET - Students should be getting on Reflex Math at least 3 times a week until they achieve 100 percent fluency. Once they reach 100 percent fluency, they only have to get on once a week. Click here to go to the website.
ELA
In ELA we have finished up point of view and are now moving on to identifying main idea and details. We are currently working with the difference between stated main idea vs. implied main idea. Students are not only practicing identifying main idea, but are also practicing incorporating main idea into their own writing and organization of paragraphs.
In writing we are working on our persuasive writing papers. Students have had several prompts to practice choosing a stance on a debatable topic, but have now chosen topics for their main writing piece and are doing research around that.
