Hello! I have attached all documents for the week. Graded test papers and Dojo Reports will be in your child’s red homework folder. Please sign these and return them tomorrow. Also, Dojo points have been reset for the new 9 weeks. In the packet to be signed, you will also find a letter about “Depth of Knowledge” that explains some changes you may notice on our assessments. I have attached a digital copy for your convenience. In Science, we are finishing up on our Adaptations unit. We will complete a study guide on Wednesday and have the assessment on Thursday. I have attached the study guide in the event you would like to study with your child at home. It may also be helpful to review some of the Brain Pop videos we have used in class. https://jr.brainpop.com/science/plants/plantadaptations/ https://jr.brainpop.com/science/animals/migration/ https://jr.brainpop.com/science/animals/hibernation/ https://jr.brainpop.com/science/animals/camouflage/ On Friday, we will introduce our next unit on habitats and food chains. Students will work the following week researching in groups about the habitats and the plants and animals that make up the food chains for their group’s habitat. They will be creating a model/representation to present to the class. Please remember that the extra credit “My Animal Creation” is due by this Friday. Late projects will not be accepted. I have attached the document in the event you need a replacement. In Math, we are continuing to practice with fractions. Students have learned how to cross multiply to compare fractions and also find equivalent fractions. Students will work on several group activities and performance tasks this week to show what they know. They will also get to play some fraction games comparing and finding equivalent fractions. Please remember that our Awards Program is tomorrow morning at 8:15 in the cafeteria. I hope everyone has a great week. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
