Hello Everyone,
This week in math we will be learning about Powers of 10, and how to read, write, and evaluate expressions with exponents. This skill will prepare students for future algebra topics such as factoring and solving quadratic equations. As always, if your student could benefit from extra practice for this or other standards, you will receive an emailed invitation for after school tutoring.
In ELA, we are finishing our study of problem and solution text structure and will test on that skill on Friday. Please continue support of at-home reading for 20 minutes per day!
In science, we are learning all about Earth’s systems (the geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) and how they interact to produce the environments we are familiar with.
If you haven’t done so yet, please sign up here for a time to meet with me for Family-Teacher Conferences next Monday, October 14th, and Tuesday, October 15th. Please choose a time that works for both you and your student to attend together. I can’t wait to discuss their progress with you! Also, as mentioned previously, we will be participating in RISE training tests on those dates in preparation for benchmark and end-of-year testing.
Please note that Fall Break is also next week, October 16-18th, and there will be no school. I hope you enjoy that time together!
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Shaw
