Students will also be introduced to regular multi digit multiplication (old fashion method) while  some students will continue to work on order of operations until they master it. They will be working on centers all this week which will be graded.

Science Update: Unit 1 Test on Constructive and Destructive Processes will be on October 2nd. Use science journal to study. Study guide will also be given on Friday, September 20th.

Social Studies Update: This week students will be wrapping up cattle trails and move on to the Inventors/ Inventions portion of the first history unit. Students who have not completed centers by Weds. will have to complete any unfinished work during lunch and class (they will sit out of game time!), so they will have to work purposefully to finish during class time.

Science Update: 

This week in Science, we are continuing our first unit. We have taken notes on Constructive and Destructive Processes and are now starting to apply the knowledge. Some students struggled on the first few assignments, so we will be doing centers this week for some reteaching and extension for students who have mastered the beginning of the standard. We will be doing a lab using sugar cubes and skittles this week to see the forces of weathering, erosion, and deposition. 

Reading Update:

This week, students are working on Summarizing fiction texts and will then proceed to work on identifying themes. Please continue to independently read on your lexile level and work on your next book report.

Math Update: We started the new unit on Order of Operations today. We will also simultaneously work on regular multi-digit multiplication this week while continuing to practice previously taught place value concepts in centers. I will start pulling students in small group on a regular basis to ensure understanding. Students took a test last Friday on place value unit. There were more than a few students from each class who failed that test. These students were given alternate study packet today to help them prepare for tomorrow's test corrections. Parents, please check your class dojo message if your child has to do test corrections.
