This week started the Economics unit in social studies. The students learned the differences between needs and wants. In addition, the learned about saving and earning money. I noticed that several students are in need of headphones for their iPads. Please make sure your child has headphones daily for school.
The advance math students learned more about using the formula to find the area of a square and rectangle. Also, the learned about functions of input and output. On level math students continued learning about fractions and partitioning shapes into equal parts. Partitioning circles into three equal parts was a little tricky for them. Also, showing two different ways to partition a rectangle into three equal parts was a little tricky.
We are on the last few chapters of The Mouse and the Motorcycle. They are really enjoying the adventures of Ralph. Ask your child to summarize the book so far. Ask them about the story elements (setting, characters, problems, solutions).
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Remember to check their grades in Infinite Campus. If they have made up an assignment please have your child remind me to check Seesaw. I'm grading several assignments and it's a challenge to remember to go back and look for missing assignments. Thank you.
