Congratulations to all students who met their individual reading goal in AR. These students will be honored on Friday, May 9th.

Unit of Study:  Liquid Capacity; Weight/ Mass 

Students will explore with liquid capacity and weight in both customary and metric units.

Students will continue to identify math actions in story problems and solve using pictures, numbers and words.

 

 

PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD PRACTICING MULTIPLICATION FACTS TO THE 10'S EVERY NIGHT.  THIS IS A PROMOTION REQUIREMENT. 

We will do a timed multiplication fact quiz every morning.  Students will move to the next level everytime they score a 100 on the 3 minute quiz. 

  

 

Students will continue taking the timed multiplication fact promotion assessment every three weeks.  Each time the promotion test is given it will count for a math grade.  It will not count as a test grade, but as a daily work grade.
