This week in 5^th grade we are starting Math Chapter 6, which is all about Adding and Subtracting Fractions. Today and tomorrow students will be using fraction strips in class. For their homework, if students do not stay for homework club, I have copied below a link to fraction strips online that they can use to help them. The link is also in Google Classroom:

 

 

Friday, we took the Chapter 5 Math Test. If your student was absent Friday, I gave them their test today to work on. If they don't finish during class time, they can work on it at home and bring it back to me tomorrow.

 

 

We are still working on our Interim tests (practice state tests), and I hope to have those finished this week.

 

Quarter 2 ends on Friday, so please keep encouraging your students to do their best and make sure to get all their assignments turned in. Report cards will go home probably in the second week of February, they will be mailed to your home. There are no parent/teacher conferences for this quarter.
