Math – we are adding/subtracting and multiplying decimals. Today it came to my attention that a lot of the class needs extra practice with multiplication facts. As stated in a previous post, please have your kids do xtramath.org as practice for fluency, they will also be getting worksheets coming home to help practice doing their facts “flash fast.” This will be extremely helpful as we get into more complicated math problems.

Reading – we are finishing up our main idea and details unit. They will take their post test this week. Next we will summarize and make inferences.

Social studies – they will take their quiz this week for government.

Science – we will finish up our unit on matter and particles. I was a week ahead in my mind, and our pennies experiment will be *next* week, not this week!
