The Johnson Journal
Week of November 23rd and 24th
What are we Learning?
In Math, we are going to be adding and subtracting decimals for these two days.
In ELA, we are going to be practicing Cause and Effect, reading Recipes, and some creative writing based around Thanksgiving activities.
In Science, we are going to learn more about Ocean Ecosystems.
Check out our "Wonder Wall". Ask your child to tell you about the book we read together, and what all they learned from it!
Important Information to Know
- This is a short week. We are in school all day Monday and have an Early Release on Tuesday. Please plan accordingly!
- We are beginning adding and subtracting decimals Monday and Tuesday. Please have your child continue practicing it over the break to make sure they keep up with it!
- We are making changes with IXL: the IXLs we assign over the week now require 20 questions to be complete. There is a worksheet where students work out 20 problems from each IXL. They mark whether they got it correct, and if they did not, they show their corrections. This worksheet of 20 questions is what I will be giving a grade on each week. No longer do you have to do 150 questions in order to make an 80%! Please let me know if you have questions about this!
- All grades are updated with the exception of last week's homework. Please take a look at grades with your student and make sure they are staying on top of their work! The blue conversation bubbles beside each grade give notes that I have written beside the grades.
- The Historical Fiction Book Project is due Friday, December 11th! Please make sure your child is staying on top of reading their book!
- I wish all of you a very special Thanksgiving break! Please enjoy the time with your families and have a safe and wonderful break!
