Mrs. Webber said that she would love to see/hear your homemade instruments. Please feel free to bring yours to school with you tomorrow!

Dear Families,

Due to the winter weather and snow all Dearborn Public Schools will be closed on Monday, December 12, 2016.

Have a safe and restful day,

Thank you,

Mrs. C

MATH: We will be studying area this week. In addition, we will continue to work on Fact Fluency. Our Wildly Important Goal is for 85% of students to be Math Masters in Addition and Subtraction by January 9, 2017.

SCIENCE: We will shift from sound to light later this week. Mrs. Fleming has a cool extension to share with you on Thursday!

SS: Tomorrow we will read about the arrival of the British in Michigan. Also, we will begin to review for the Unit test which will be given on Friday.

READING: Our focus remains Nonfiction text. I’ve got several Scholastic News articles for us to read and analyze. We will continue to work on identifying main idea and supporting details.

WRITING: We will be finishing the Blueprint for the informational essay about The Three Fires and Human/Environment Interaction and using the Chromebooks to type the 5-paragraph assignment.

SPELLING: New words arrive tomorrow!

Hasn’t the snow been beautiful? Yesterday I asked Mr. C if he had started the snowblower in preparation for today’s snowfall. He told me “No” and “Not to worry”. Well, sure enough he went out to remove snow about 2 hours ago and it wouldn’t start! Sounds like someone needs to work on Habit 1: Be Proactive! (But I’ll just keep that to myself). Be safe out there tonight and tomorrow morning!

POPCORN: $0.50 per bag, or $1 for 3!

Regarding the Measurement assignment:

Please round any mixed numbers to the nearest whole number when subtracting to answer the “How much…?” questions.

For example, a measurement of 48 1/4″ would be rounded down to 48″.  We’ve yet to cover adding and subtracting fractions.
