Wire Wednesday

Wednesday is Lab Day!  Today we tested materials to find conductivity.  Your kids did a great job!  Today we also worked on our Ivan opinion writing.  We discussed different ways to create and explain patterns, and we played Fan and Pick to delve further into this week's non fiction text: The Life and Times of the Ant.

This evening at home....

• please look over and sign last week's reading test
• complete Go Math  315 and 315
• Read the Ant fable ( companion piece) and select ONE of the Compare Texts activities
• 175-177 in Readers Notebook

Notes...

• I think that we will be ready for the Chapter 5 math test on Friday. This is a short chapter.  We will review tomorrow.  
• 201 will hold a Math Facts Bee on Friday. BEEEEEE prepared.  Study those fact families
• Does your child know the math facts "like that?"   Now is the time to practice. We will spend the next month studying fractions.  Fluid fact knowledge is a key prerequisite skill!  Keep on practicing!
• Please don't forget to sign the Gold Card.  There might be an important note about homework completion or expectations. Signing the card lets me know that you have seen and approve of your child's homework performance. 

Don't forget to click on the "dog house" and do some MAPS test prep!
