Mournful Monday

Well, today's title is a bit misleading. Don't be confused. Team 201 is not mourning. We did debut some new vocabulary today, and mournful is one of them. Don't be discouraged,  I know that with practice we will triumph!  Some kids may need to haul out those dictionaries this week!

This evening at home...

• finish pages 109 and 110 in the Readers Notebook.
• read for 20 minutes or more and record.
• prepare for Multiplication Madness tomorrow.
• show your parents the Field Trip form.
• complete the Lesson 4.8 Enrich Math sheet that was handed out today.

Today we took a Mid Chapter Checkpoint quiz. This helps me assess readiness to move on to new concepts.  Some of you will be getting a "grade trigger" this evening that indicates that your student's average has risen or fallen. I will be spending time reviewing these concepts with small groups or one on one tomorrow. I will send home the original quiz tomorrow.

Enjoy this poster and video on Divisibility Rules.  Memorizing Divisibility Rules can help you compute large numbers quickly.  I hope that this helps you with your homework!
