Math: Always check your child's agenda for daily homework assignments. Fortson Math Class- We will continue with 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. We are working on using open arrays and distributive property as a strategy. We will begin working on the standard algorithim as a strategy as well. We will continue with multiplication through next week- so there will be a unit assessment later next week. Please check back on the math page. I will try to provide some resources to help with assignments (for those of us who didn't learn the open array strategy when we were in elementary school :) ) Also, don't forget that students have an spiral notebook that we use for note taking!
ELA/Reading: We will have STATUS OF THE CLASS on Friday. At this point, students should have completed at least one book. Most students have completed several, but have not turned in their comprehension sheets. This one book will count as a grade for this nine weeks. A great way to earn an easy grade!!
SS Weekly week 8- We used this for our reading this week. Most students finished the open note quiz with text evidence in class. If they needed more time, I encouraged them to take it home on Thursday night. It is due completed in class today.
Science: We started our new unit in both classes this week. Students received a Ecosystem packet that is due on Tuesday of next week. They are able to use their textbook if needed. They will have Friday and Tuesdayt morning during morning work time to work on this as well.
Social Studies: Fakebook pages are due on Friday. Students have had 3 weeks to complete this project. They also received class time in both Mrs. Derry's class as well as in our class (when they completed other work). There is a unit test today over explorers. This will be an open book test, so students need to have their textbook, interactive notebook and any SS Weekly newspapers to use.
