Today we have a good bit of homework due to all of the missed days and makeup work.<\/p>\n
Students should read chapters 7 and 8 in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. \u00a0This should easily cover their reading log time, which I remind you is to be 35 minutes each night. \u00a0I know many students who are definitely reading but forget to get this log signed on a nightly basis. \u00a0Please double check your student’s log if you get a chance.<\/p>\n
We have two mathematics worksheets to do. \u00a0One is a multiplying fractions worksheet. \u00a0On this sheet, there are a number of fraction multiplication problems. \u00a0Students have been told that simply answering the problems is not enough; they must draw a square fractional representation of their answer.<\/p>\n
The second worksheet is a worksheet on simplifying fractions. \u00a0Students again may not simply give an answer. \u00a0They must provide what form of one they divided by in order to simplify their fraction. \u00a0For instance when simplifying 6\/8, they would write 6\/8\u00a0\u00f7 (2\/2) = 3\/4. \u00a0We have been working on the identity properties of one for multiplication and division, and simplifying fractions is our first stepping stone towards exploring equivalent fractions utilizing these properties.<\/p>\n
Finally, students have been asked to come in tomorrow with at least one page of their fantasy story written. \u00a0They came up with “somebody wanted but so” diagrams to outline their stories last week, and they will be spending the next week fleshing out and writing their stories. \u00a0This page does not have to be something painstakingly revised and edited. \u00a0It simply needs to be a good start to their story. \u00a0We will take care of the editing and revising in class in small groups and peer groups.<\/p>\n

We have a lot to catch up on, but hopefully with your support and your student’s hard work, we can get back on track!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
