Updates Week January 9, 2017

Well, we now officially begin the 3rd nine weeks.  We now have looked at all of the mid-year data and are ready to review and remediate standards that students were not successful on.  Ask your child what they are learning in math everyday.  They should be able to tell you one review topic and one current topic.

Math
We are currently working on two standards that are reviewing multiplication and division along with our new standards on fractions.  Specifically we are working on equivalent fractions and comparing fractions using area models, number lines, multiplication and division.  You should be seeing homework every night Monday thru Thursday.

Science
We are still on our chapter covering Space.  The lesson we are currently on is the moon and moon phases.  We will also study eclipses of the sun and moon.

Date to Remember
Friday, January 13.............................Storm Make up day
Monday, January 16..........................Holiday-Martin Luther King Day
Wednesday, January 25.....................Early Dismissal

Until Next time,
R. O'Steen
