Happy Monday! It looks like it is going to be a rainy week.
In math, we are reviewing percents and will have a quiz on Wednesday! Your child will need to know how to go from fraction to decimal to percent. They will also need to know that percent means out of 100 and how to shade that on a hundreds grid. Everything your child has been doing in class and for homework the last week can be used to study for the quiz. Thursday, we will begin rate, ratio, and proportions.
In writing, we are continuing descriptive writing. I will bring my German Shorthaired Pointer into writing class on Thursday so the students can write a descriptive piece on him. His name is Riley and he has been coming to class with me a couple times a year for 7 years! He loves kids. The children write better than ever when they have the object right in front of them as they write and when the object is exciting!
In Reading, we will be finishing up the novel, Hatchet, and watching the movie on Thursday and Friday. Please be sure your child is striving to make their AR goal. Hatchet is worth 7 points, if they answer all the questions correctly. AR and the quarter end on October 30th.
Please also continue to check HAC and be sure your child is turning in all of their assignments!
Have a great week :)
