This week we will be focusing on measurement. This also encompasses fractions. Our books for reading will be about measurement and patterns, as well as our projects! This is only the beginning, so students are not expected to master these skills yet. These will be the building blocks for multiplication, though.
To assist your child, you could have them explain what they learned about measurement in school. I often link new concepts to previously learned ones. To jump-start the conversation, you could ask them what they learned about fractions!
Homework for the week will be the same every night.
Students will receive a short story with words in bold. They should find synonyms for the words without using a dictionary. It is imperative that the students attempt this homework on their own.
If they did not complete their daily writing assignment, that should also be finished.
For Math they will receive a sheet with 6 problems on it. Some of the problems they may not have seen before, but the concepts are ones we have spoken about in class. They should try to complete every problem by identifying the important information and having reasons. If the answers are incorrect that is ok, because their reasoning will assist me with how I plan to address future lessons!
Have a wonderful week.
