And our new Secret Phrase is:

Math:
Thank you families for donating expo markers, and candy to our math class.  I truly appreciate your help with getting the much needed student supply item, and sweet treats!

We have a couple lessons left in Mod 2. 
Lesson 23: Divide three- and four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors resulting in two- and three-digit quotients, reasoning about the decomposition of successive remainders in each place value.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KPNGF_9eYo&t=385s for L23 homework help.
We will wrap up Module 2 with a lesson on dividing decimals.  A Mod 2 computer based test will be Friday.

We will start Module 3, using what we know about fraction and decimal equivalents to add and subtract fractions.   We will begin by showing equivalent fractions through area model drawings, number lines and numbers. 

Lesson 1: Make equivalent fractions with the number line, the area model, and numbers. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdEM1x5TmTE for homework help.

Science:  We will complete some labs this week on electrical energy, and electrical transformations.  Students will take a test on Friday.  We will complete a fun Candy Corn Catapult lab on Tuesday for Halloween! :)  The test scheduled for last week was pushed back to this week!

ArrrrrBC!  It's not too late...you can do it!
These girls were the first ones! Way to go Meg and Shyla!

Math: On Friday a graded paper test was returned to students.  Grades of 65% and below qualify for grade remediation.  Completion of a Test Correction Form is mandatory for grade remediation.  Journals and workbooks may be used as reference tools, and I will be available Tuesday morning before school for students.  The test and Correction form are due back Wednesday.
We will take the Module 1 computer based assessment this week.
This week in Module 2 we will write and interpret numerical expressions and compare expressions using a visual model, convert numerical expressions into unit form as a mental strategy for multi-digit multiplication and connect visual models and the distributive property to partial products of the standard algorithm.

Ultra fine dry erase markers needed!  Students use individual whiteboards and dry erase markers daily.  With three classes rotating through math a day, our current classroom set of markers has depleted! If you are able to help out with this classroom supply it would be greatly appreciated!

Science: We will complete an aligned investigation this week on classifying solids, liquids, and gases.  We will also begin discussing mixtures and how to separate them.  We will complete a couple different labs on this concept.  We will also have a visitor from the Jacksonville Public Library come and speak with the kids on Tuesday to help them find ideas and research for their science fair projects.  Reminder all projects are due on November 8th!
