In math we worked division of 2 digit and 3 digit numbers by 1 digit.   Your child should study his/her math facts nightly.  In writing we revised our narrative about a person we admire using dialogue in our writing.  In reading, we worked on adding evidence from the text to our answers to questions.   In social studies we wrote a compare and contrast essay about Mexico and Canada.  We used our Google slides to help us write.

Your child should read for at least 20 minutes nightly and sign the reading log.

Students can access Dreambox at home https://play.dreambox.com/login/bnpy/philipgc.

Reading Tip:  After reading with your child, have a conversation about the book.  Ask him/her to summarize what he/she read.

Dreambox has started in our math classes.  Dreambox is a motivating online math software to help students develop math skills.  Students can access Dreambox at home https://play.dreambox.com/login/bnpy/philipgc.  Students have an email and password to login.  Also in math we worked on estimation, rounding and multiplying 2-digit numbers.   Your child should study his/her math facts nightly.  In writing we worked on a narrative about a person we admire.   In reading, we started a new Reading Log and book.  Every student has a book to read for at home.  The reading log should be completed each night.  Please sign the Reading log. In social studies we completed our research of Mexico and Canada.  We created Google slides for our research and we will make a video to share what we learned.  

Your child should read for at least 20 minutes nightly and sign the reading log.

MATH Tip of the Week: Make a point to praise your child’s efforts in math.  Don’t focus on mistakes. Offer praise every time your child finishes an assignment and every time he or she figures out a difficult problem.
