Math: We have finished Unit 2 in Math, and we will be moving on to Unit 3: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions next week. This is a very difficult unit for students in the past. The students took their pretests yesterday. Pretests are not counted as a grade, they are to simply have the students track where they were before and then after the unit. They see so much growth at the end of the Unit! It is nice to have them be proud of themselves. Please remind your child not to get down on themselves about pretests! :) They are just for tracking purposes! They will have a new homework packet next Monday, and it will be due the following Monday.
Writing: The students finished publishing their memoirs and celebrating them with their writing partners. We celebrated with cookies!
Reading: We have started Unit 2 for Reading: Analyzing Characters in our books. Remind your child that even when they are reading at home to jot down notes about characters and how other characters treat the main character in the book. Your child should be reading 30 minutes every night, and if you would please initial their assignment notebooks, so I know that they are reading! =)
Science: This week we explored force and motion and graphed our data. The students are learning to graph data and analyze it. This is a tricky skill for many of them! :) Our science test on Force and Motion will be on Oct. 29!
Looking Ahead:
Oct. 23- Typing Test! Be sure your child is practicing ATRT! :) They know how to log in from home!
Oct. 24: Conference forms are due! Be sure to let me know if you are going to be able to make it to conference on the time that I scheduled for you.

*Homework will also be due on Wednesday instead of Monday!

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! :)
