Good Afternoon!

Students will have an unusual homework assignment tonight.  We learned a new game today called “Fraction Top It”.  I am asking that your child play at least 5 rounds of this new game for their homework tonight.  Please make sure your child is using the language of mathematicians.  They should be saying ” 1/2 is more than 1/3 because…” or “1/8 is less than 4/5 because…” and explaining their thinking.  Please make sure your child brings the Fraction Squares back to school, since we will be using them frequently in class.  I appreciate your help with this assignment.

Tomorrow is the spelling test.  When we took our Buddy Check test today, several of the children did not know their words well.  Please make sure your child is practicing the spelling words daily.

Our own Rebecca Lyons is participating in the play “Peter Pan” at Edsel Ford High School beginning tonight.  This would be a great family outing for everyone!

Have a great evening!
