Daily Review #2, Due on Friday

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

We will end our Oceans unit on Thursday with an open book test. Make sure students bring all notes to class and review content of 3NW packet covering Oceans. They will have access to notes.

I have also changed the date of the Math quiz from today to tomorrow. Decided to spend a day on general concepts. We will quiz tomorrow. Sorry if this caused any issues.

Don’t forget: This is the week for SEF fundraiser. Students can wear jerseys M, Crazy hats T, Crazy socks W, and the Valentine dance is on Thursday. Students pay a one time donation of $4 for participating in all activities. Thanks in advance for your donations. All funds stay in Suffolk to help our students, teachers, and schools.

Math HW

Monday – Text p.345 (Set D)

Tuesday – Quiz on Perimeter, Area, and Volume

Wednesday – Text p.298-299 (Copy the green Metric Equivalents table, Complete 5-7, 17)

Science – Continue work on Ocean Floor projects. These are due on Friday, February 15th. If you have a conference, bring it with you. If you do not, you may still drop it off. (Harris and I will be in the Computer Lab) If you want, they can turn it in on Thursday to save a trip.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

I am dropping tonight’s Math HW to spend an extra day on each skill. All other Math HW will remain. Those in Harris’ class did not officially receive last night’s assignment, so I am making that tonight for them. All those who have already done this have no Math HW tonight.

Text p. 319 (Set C) Perimeter

Math this week is Perimeter, Area, and Volume. The students can use a calculator to solve but must remember the formulas and concepts.

Monday – Text p. 318 (Set C) I forgot to post on the board with Mrs. Harris’ class. If they do not turn it in tomorrow, I will assign both tomorrow. Sorry.

Tuesday Text p.319 (Set D)

Wednesday – Create 5 squares and 5 rectangles on grid paper. Determine the area and perimeter of both

Thursday – Create 5 right triangles on grid paper. Determine the area of each.

Science HW – Students should continue working on the Ocean Floor project. It is due on Friday, February 15th.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

I have sent home the criteria for the Science projects. They can be done as either a power point/report or a model of the ocean floor. Students can choose the grade they want by the amount of information they include. Please read over the criteria for the project. All projects are due on February 15th. This is the day of our Parent-Teacher Conferences. Parents may bring them to conference appointments, drop them off that day (if no appointment is made), or turn them in on Thursday, February 14th. Please guide your child in constructing this project to make sure it is done in a timely manner. Let me know if you have any questions about this project.

We begin our 3rd nine weeks today. We will continue to learn new skills and talents, but we will also keep reviving earlier skills to keep them fresh. Nightly review using IXL, HW practice, and STAR are great ways to accomplish this.

Math

Monday – Text p.458 (Set A)

Tuesday – None

Wednesday – Text p.459 (Set D)

Thursday – Text p.442 (10, 11)

Starting next week we will begin using the weekly grids for Science review. Students are to complete 4 nightly questions Monday – Thursday nights. The completed Science Daily Review is due on Fridays. On some weeks there will be a quiz using some of the questions from that week. Any questions that your child doesn’t know/remember, can use resources to assist. Note packets, google, or ask me at school. I will assist with any material that is just a bit ahead of our pacing. Thanks in advance for monitoring your child’s education from home.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

Science Benchmark is tomorrow. Please complete a thorough review tonight using: IXL Science, 2NW note packet, and Review study guide that was sent out earlier. 

Also due tomorrow is the History PBA – Road to the Revolution

Math will start new on Thursday with 5.16 Graphing. Homework for Math will begin next week also. We will cover line plots and stem-and-leaf plots. These will also be used to display data for MMMR when we test State and Local Benchmarks.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.

Wednesday, January 23rd is the date for our Science Benchmark. Please review nightly with the 2NW note packet, Study Guide sent home last week, and IXL Science. We have a 30 day trial at this time. The material that should be covered is:

B.2,  C.3,  E.1,  F.1 – F.8,  I.1 – I.5,  K.1 and K.2,  L.1 – L.4,  L.7,  all of M,  all of O,  P.1 – P.5, and Q.2.  This practice is based on Common Core, but covers the material similar to our curriculum. The students should know how to log in to the site.

Let me know if you have any questions. Don’t forget Reading Benchmark tomorrow.

We are continuing review with the 2nd NW packet that was sent through email. These are due on Wednesday. We are also working on them in class and making corrections on previous Daily Reviews. Please have them work on these nightly as we are testing those skills on Thursday, January 10th. 

Students are required to maintain a 70 average on Math Benchmarks throughout the year.

We will begin our Science review next week after the Math Benchmark is completed.

Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.
