Report Cards: Quarter 1 report cards will be coming home this week! Blue Math- We have been working on 5th grade unit 3. In this unit, we cover multiplying and dividing decimals. We learn how to show this in a model as well as use the standard algorithm. This unit can be difficult for students so please make sure students are completing their homework and practicing nightly! Our test over this unit has been moved to November 1st (due to IOWA). Yellow Math- We have just started working on 6th grade unit 3. This unit covers algebraic expressions. Students will need to know important vocabulary that goes with algebraic expressions (constant, term, coefficient, etc.) We will also review and master the order of operations (PEMDAS). Students will also use math properties to simplify algebraic expressions (associative, commutative, identity, inverse). Our test over this unit is tentative for November 1st. Science- Our science unit covers Electricity and Magnetism. We experimented with conductors, insulators, circuits and electromagnets on Friday with some other 5th grade classes! Students have learned the vocabulary and need to make sure to study for our test. Our test date is October 17th.
