Word Study:  

Your child received his/her new word list.  Please ask your child to show you his/her neatly written words in the planner.  Your child should complete two activities from each of the three categories (phonics, vocabulary, spelling) and then complete the three tests for those sections.  The 6 activities and 3 tests are due on Friday, May 7.  Please encourage your child not to wait until the last minute!  ***Please note:  the program does not mark your child as complete until they score above 80% on all three tests.***

We learned about improper fractions and mixed numbers.  Ask your child to show you how to practice modeling fractions larger than one on a number line.  

We practiced modeling fractions less than 1 with number lines.  Ask your child to share with you and explain how we use number lines to represent fractions.
