We are finishing our last SOL in Math. After this week we will revisit past skills to sharpen our understanding of them.
Math HW–
Wednesday – Text p.372 (Set F)
Thursday – Text p.372 (Set G)
Science for 5th grade is complete. We are now finishing the review of the last few 4th grade skills. Review the 4th NW packets each night to begin review of those skills.
Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.
We are finishing up all 3 subjects. Science this 9 weeks is 3 Fourth grade SOLs. Math is ending with Transformations of 2 dimensional shapes, Prime/composite, and when we return, Elapsed Time.
I have give out the 4th NW packets for Science. Have your child begin to review. We also now have SOLpass to review all subjects. Your student knows the password to enter.
Math HW
Monday – Text p.118 (Set G)
Thursday – Text p.119 (Set H)
As usual, thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.
Science Benchmark is tomorrow. Students should be finishing their Study Guides to turn in tomorrow. Remember, you do not have to print. They may turn in their proof paper to show they completed it. If your child does not have this option or would like another method, they may use the 3NW note packet (gold packet). These note packets are also in STAR under Science Review. All material in it may be on the test, as well as weak questions from tests #1 and #2. Please make sure your child is prepared as this also affects them individually, as a grade level, and as a subject. We are the only grade level taking Science for the State.

Math – Homework for this week is the Study Guide.
Complete Study Guide for 3NW Benchmark. It is located on the blog last week and in my emails. Students do not have to print them. They may bring in organized Proof Paper as show of completion. It is imperative that students do their best on this Benchmark, especially if they have not achieved the desired 70 score/average yet.
I will be sending out their 3NW Study Guide for Science as soon as the Math is complete. Our Benchmark is on April 2nd.
Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.
Our dates for 3NW Benchmarks are as follows:
Please begin to review notes in Math and Science nightly. The Benchmarks will be upon us before we know it.
Math –
Monday – Define and draw 3 examples of each type of angle (acute, right, obtuse, and straight)
Wednesday – Complete angle measures for Set 4.
Test on Angle/Triangle Measures and Classification will be next week.
Science – Study Guide for Earth Chapter will be completed Wednesday and Thursday night. We will take a test on Friday or Monday, depending on how much Career Day takes of our day. I am shooting for Friday.
Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.
Math – Content-wise, this is a busy week in Math. We will have a quick quiz today on 5.9 Metric Conversion. We will do a review before. Tomorrow we will start a three day lesson on 5.10 Circles. That quiz will be on Thursday before or after the field trip to KFHS for the Symphony visit. Friday we will begin 5.12 Angle Types. Check STAR and IXL for practice and particulars about each SOL.
Monday – None
Tuesday – Label a paper plate (or drawn circle) with circle parts and formulas. We use the estimate of about 3 diameters equal circumference. They need to know diameter, radius, center, circumference, and chord. They also need to know the relationships of each. For example 2 radii =diameter.
Wednesday – Create 5 circles with varying lengths of diameters. Label. Calculate the circumference and radii for each.
Thursday – None
Science – Begin reviewing notes on 5.6 Oceans and 5.7 Earth from 3NW Packets. Also check STAR for Packets and review information.
Thanks for all you do at home to help your child at school.
