5th Grade Update

Good afternoon families,
 
This week we are working on Chapter 4 in Math. Chapter 4 is about Multiplying Decimals. We will take the Chapter 4 Math test before the Winter break. In Language Arts we are reading stories in this unit about the American Revolution. This week we are working on Figurative Language. Today the students are taking a Science test. 
 
Also, this week we are starting our second round of Let's Go Learn testing. This testing is important to our school as a way of monitoring student progress. Please remind students to do the best they can on these tests, so we have an accurate representation of their skills.
 
A reminder, students have homework every day. We do daily spelling, reading, and math that is checked in class daily. It is important that students complete and turn their homework in for practice, and for the grade in class. If your student is having an issue with homework, please let me know so I can work something out with you.
 
Here are some IXL extra practice skills that go with our lessons this week if you would like your student to have some extra practice at home:
