Math: 
The students finished up their fraction unit, and we have moved on to decimals. They will be learning how to add and subtract decimals, as well as writing them as words, in standard form, and powers of ten! We will also be doing some graphing and estimating of decimals. 
* Unit 2 Test will be Wednesday, Oct.15
*Homework will also be due on Wednesday instead of Monday! 

Writing: 
We have been working extremely hard on our memoirs! We worked on our endings and leads and connecting them to our theme of our memoir. The students are able to type their drafts at home and some days in school. We will be celebrating our memoirs next week! 

Reading: 
We are finishing up our unit on powering up our reading. We have learned a number of different strategies to make us better readers. The students are challenged this year to read 40 books! This allows them to continue to read, but open up their minds to other genres! They are doing a fabulous job! Please remind your child to continue to take SRC quizzes to earn prizes in library! :) 

Science: 
We finished our Earth Science Unit, and have moved on to Force and Motion! :) The students will be doing some activities to explore force and motion in their every day lives! 

Reminders: 
* Bauer 7 Habits T-shirt orders and money is due: Friday, Oct. 10! T-shirts are $6.00 each
