Math
We are wrapping up Chapter 7 – decimals. It is great to see the students make a connection between fractions and decimals. Students have also seem to feel more confident with the work they are completing. We will review Monday and Tuesday and take the test on Wednesday, March 8!
Today we played a decimal matching game! It helped the students compare fractions and decimals and see how they are related!
Weekly Math
Every Friday your child should bring home a math practice paper. The math worksheet will be a review of concepts already covered in the classroom. Students should be able to do the work independently. However, if you notice your child is struggling with a concept, please help him/her. Math practice is due back on Thursday. If your child doesn’t return it by Thursday, he/she will receive a pink “missing/incomplete assignment” sticker for not being responsible and automatically miss Friday Rewards. Students who do not complete the work or meet grade level expectations will revisit the concepts during Friday Rewards.
This week’s Weekly math consists of 2 pages! Both need to be turned in on Wednesday, March 9!
