It was a great week back at school in 5th grade! I hope everyone had a great spring break and enjoyed some rest and relaxation.
Math- Our chapter 11 test on measurement will be next Tuesday, April 3. We finished learning about metric system conversions this week. We reviewed today and will also review on Monday. Students should also be working on ALEKS at home (at least 20 min. each week). Ask your student what their new 4th quarter ALEKS goal is!
The Metric Song
Milli, Centi, Deci, meter
Deka, hecto, kilo, too
Put them with a gram and liter
That is all you have to do
Milli is the smallest measure
Ten of these a centi makes
One hundred centis make a unit
That’s not very hard to take
Liters measure only liquid
Grams measure weight or mass
Meters measure length or distance
You can go to the head of the class
*To the tune of Reuben, Reuben
Writing- The kiddos worked on finishing their DARE essays this week! They have been doing such a nice job with including evidence and citing their sources.
Reading- We are continuing to analyze, discuss, and answer higher level questions relating to complex passages and texts as we prepare for the MAP test.
Friday, Match 30 - NO SCHOOL
Wednesday, April 11 - Early Release
Saturday, April 14 - Concord Family Fun Run
Sincerely,
Meredith Holtmann
