What Are We Learning in Class?
Reading- We are continuing this week on our Novel Study Among the Hidden. We are currently working on questions for chapter 13&14. We have read in class up to chapter 16. This week we will read up to chapter 18.

Math- We worked a lot last week on Greatest Common Factors and Least Common Multiples. We learned what is a factor and a multiple. We began learning about prime numbers and learned how to make a factor tree. We will continue with these skills this week. Students will learn to differentiate between a composite number and a prime number. Please practice times tables with your child. Multiplication is a really helpful tool when learning this concept.
*** Do you know each week your child has a little math quiz along with their weekly spelling quiz? They should be bringing it home. It is a nice way for you to see what we are learning.

Social Studies- Wednesday is our big test on Continents/ Oceans and Canada. Students should have brought home a study sheet last week. We are learning about refugees and the war in Syria right now. Students will be completing another map on the Middle East.
Writing- Student are learning about sentence structure. They are learning to identify types of sentences and proper punctuation in sentences.

Science- Students have been learning about Mixtures and Solutions

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Quite the snow we had this morning. This is a sure sign the weather is changing and winter is upon us. I noticed the custodian put out our boot racks this week. Winter is definitely on its way!

Our class is making wonderful progress and has really settled in to routines. We have a lovely group of hardworking students. They are learning to be organized and prepared for class. Students are given deadlines for projects and assignments and many are now learning to hand things in on time and to study and review concepts at home. Your child will need support and guidance at this grade to learn these study skills.

​Please know we do have a custodian in the building until 10 pm each night. Students can come and knock on the doors and windows to have him let them in to get forgotten items (After doing this a few times, guaranteed students suddenly start to remember to bring home items :) Thank-you for your help in teaching responsibility!


Student + Parent + Teacher = Success!
