Here Comes a Full Week!

• Welcome to a full week! I hope everyone had an enjoyable few days off.
• A reminder to all students to be filling in their reading passports each evening!  20 min. per night is what I am expecting.  Parents don't forget to pull out the reading comprehension questions that I sent home in September and get your son/daughter talking about what they are reading.
• We have moved into our first Social Studies unit and the students are very excited. We are studying how we learn about the past.  I have brought in a few old artifacts to class and had the students try and guess what they were. There were some amazing guesses!
• Grade 5 math students are continuing to -variable, one-step equations with whole number coefficients and whole number solutions. For example,    y+3=9 therefore y=6 or  5t=25 therefore t=5. Please continue reviewing not only multiplication facts, but there corresponding division facts as well.  We will be having another oral quiz on Friday. Remember approx. 3 sec. for multiplication and 5 sec. for division.
• The next text type study we will be looking at will be persuasive writing. 
• I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I am hoping the book order should be here mid-week.
