Math:
We will review the concepts covered this first nine weeks. They include powers of ten, order of operations, place value, multiplication, and division. There will be a CDA Friday over the concepts covered. Please review the study guide to prepare. It is closely aligned with the test.
Did you know: The homework is a great way to see what we are doing in class. The Khan Academy link on the blog has tutorial videos that can help you, the parent, as well as your child practice the strategies we teach in class. Edmodo is also a good resource for tutorial videos and practice games.
**Math homework will be given Monday to be turned in on Friday. This is taken as a grade if completed, so please use the homework to review concepts with your child. Xtramath can also be used to increase math fluency.

Reading-
In reading, we will continue to focus on making inferences and how to quote accurately from a text. We will also evaluate how characters in a story respond to challenges. Our extended text is Wonder. We will use this book to help us explore theme and characterization further. Students will also become more familiar with their Lexile score for reading. This will allow them an opportunity to choose books from the Media Center that are more individualized for their reading ability.
