Week of September 28th-October 2nd


Welcome to Fall!  Let's hope for some cooler weather! 

Progress reports were sent home on Monday, September 28th!  Please review and sign so we know you have seen it!

The book fair is taking place this week!  Our classes will visit the book fair on Monday to create our wish lists, students can bring money that day if they would like to shop.  Family Night at the book fair will be Thursday, October 1st from 5-7 pm

Be sure to bookmark our blog so students can log in through the blended learning tab!

Also, be sure to ask your child about graded ELA papers that have been returned.  If they are highlighted with a 69% or below they should be signed and returned to Mrs. Ray.  Please continue to check the grades online in our Focus program.

ELA:


Remember!!!! RAH's are due every Thursday!  I have many students who have not been returning them and this is impacting their final grade.

We do not have a new RRJ due this week so this is a good time to catch up on any RRJ's that have not been turned in previously.

Please consider purchasing the novel for our study.  Espiranza Rising.
It would be great for students to have their own copy to take notes in and annotate the text!


Vocabulary:

























Math:  We are wrapping up Module 1, students will complete the Module 1 review on Monday.  Monday night they should study and be ready to take the Module 1 assessment on Tuesday. 

On Wednesday,  we will begin Module 2 which covers multi-digit whole number multiplication & division.  

I am noticing that math fact fluency is a huge problem, students need to be more fluent in their multiplication and division facts.  There is a FREE App called Door 24 that you can download on an iPad or tablet to help with math fact fluency.  Old school flashcards are always an option too!

**Math videos for the week will be posted nightly at the bottom of this post!**  Wednesday will be the first video post!

Science:  We will take a test on Wednesday on weathering and erosion.  Students have a review they can go over on Tuesday night to help them prepare.  On Thursday, we will have two lessons on renewable and nonrenewable resources.
