Math:
This week we are finishing up finding the area of composite shapes. On Wednesday, we begin fractions! We are very proud of everyone in class for the progress they are making on multiplication facts. Keep practicing, there are just over 2 weeks left until out Multiplication Madness celebration! Students will also continue to work in FrontRowEd to achieve mastery on the concepts that we have covered so far.

Homework:
For reading all you need to do is 20 minutes of reading every day (but you all knew that already)!
Math practice can done by completing 15 minutes of practice, 3 times a week in either Prodigy or FrontRow adaptive practice.
 
It’s going to be a wonderful week! (and it’s Super Bowl Week so..GO PATRIOTS!)
