Next Week is International week

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a great holiday with family and friends!

This week in Math we wrote our Chapter 10 Test, and the results went home to be signed on Thursday. This week we have started working on Chapter 11: Add and Subtract Decimals.  In Language Arts this week we have been reviewing the reading strategies summarizing, monitoring and clarifying, and defining the main idea from our Theme Give it all You’ve Got in preparation for our theme test. 

Next week is International Week so most of next week’s lessons will be dedicating to final preparation and presentation of our research on Chile.  If you would like to come and see what the Grade Five class has created please see the schedule included at the bottom of this post.

If you would like to preview anything with your son or daughter, we will be doing the following next week:

Math:

• Lesson 11.4: Estimate decimal Sums and Differences
• Lesson 11.5: Problem Solving Decision:  Choose a Method
• Chapter Review

Language Arts

• Theme Review
• Preparation for Theme Test

Social Studies

• International Week:  Chile

Ways you can help your child over the weekend:

• Ask your child to show you a preview of their Chile presentation.
• Encourage your son or daughter to read twenty minutes a day in English.

A friendly reminder to everyone that class starts at H.I.S. at 8:20 AM.  Students should arrive before 8:20 AM so they have time to unpack their bags and be ready to learn at 8:20 AM.

Have a great holiday,

Patrick Holt
