Ms. Summers' Classes
Math:
Decimals will be our focus this week. We will continue to write them, read them, model them and add and subtract them. Some groups will begin multiplying and dividing decimals. It is important that you also continue to multiply and divide at home as well.
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 finish our lessons on the Titanic where we have been comparing and contrasting characters, settings, and events. 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.
