Last week the spelling test was given on Google Classroom. We will continue to try it this way for a few weeks to see how it works out. Unfortunately, there is no way for the Google Form to let you know what words your child spelled incorrectly. You can go onto Google Classroom to find the total correct out of 100%. Any student who receives below a passing grade (70%) on a weekly spelling test will be required to do spelling homework the following week. Spelling homework is a list of 9 choices and students must pick 3 activities to complete at home and turn in on Friday.
Both 4th and 5th grade have finished their units in Math about comparing numbers. 4th graders will begin discussing addition and subtraction up to 4 digits and 5th graders will begin discussing multiplication and division using multiply digits.
5th graders have a S.S. quiz tomorrow (Tuesday) with Mr. DeSantis. He sent home a sheet of vocabulary words that students need to know on the quiz last Friday. Students should bring home their S.S. notebooks to help them study.
4th grade students have an assignment for Science with Mrs. Majetic on ReadWorks. Students will go to www.readworks.org. If they need to enroll with a class code, the code for Mrs. Majetic’s science is XXPNBT. Please read the article and answer the questions on a computer or tablet.
