Counting down to Christmas

Hello All!  I can’t how quickly 2019 is coming to a close.  We’ve got a lot going on the next couple of weeks.    In Math we are working on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators.  We are getting close to having it down, but a few of us are still struggling a bit with getting all of the steps down.  The following link will send you to a video explaining how to do it.

In Language Arts we are focusing on cause and effect, and finding the main idea of expositional text. A great way to practice this, would be to share news articles with your student, and discuss the  key points and main idea. Here is an outline for the week:

We will be having a class party on the 20th.  We will be having a hot cocoa bar, and cookies.  Be watching for a permission form to be posted in the next few days.

I sent home a book order last week.  Tuesday will be the last day to order.  To order online, follow this link to scholastic.  It will take you directly to our class page.

Thank you all for everything you do.  Let’s hang in there for a few more weeks!
