Dear Students and Parents,
Here is a breakdown of this week's homework and our class concepts:
WRITING: We are completing our writing about our Christmas break and the students will then choose between writing a mystery and research paper. In February, everyone will be writing a research paper about an animal of their choice as well as an opinion paper. In March, everyone will be writing a research paper about a county in Utah.
SPELLING: Our study of vocabulary continues with the Greek root miss, mis, meaning send.
MATH: We will review multiplication strategizing of two by two digit numbers, and introduce division. We will be solving fair share and compare type-division problems. The students will learn strategies to divide using number sense and place value. The goal this week is to divide a two-digit dividend by a one-digit divisor with a quotient that includes remainders. The students will also begin to learn what the remainder means.
Reading: 120 minutes; BOOK REPORT due FEB. 26, but it would be a good idea to finish reading those books-either an historical fiction or fantasy.
Spelling: 3 Spelling Tic Tac Toe activities, test Friday
Spelling Words: Focus on root miss, mit
admit, dismiss, emit, omit, remit, mission, intermission, missile, submit, transmit, admitting, omitting, submitting, transmitting, dismissed
Math: My Math Pages 317-319, 333-334. The students should have brought home vocabulary cards if needed to help with assignment.
