What this week will look like...

Hello all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I just wanted to give you an idea of how this week (and a little into the next) will look:

Science: Chapter 8

• Vocabulary quiz on Thursday, February 7th

Students can study from their booklets completed in class. If they wish to take a textbook home to aid their studying, I ask that your child returns to school with the textbook as we do not have a full class set and texts at home make class work difficult.

• Chapter 8 unit test on Wednesday, February 13th

A review for this test will be sent home on Monday (keep your eyes peeled for a green piece of paper in the agenda!)

Science: Science Fair

By the week's end, students will have their Question and Hypothesis completed. A bright yellow paper outlining the dates of this project will also be in the agenda.

Spelling

New week, new words! We will work in class on spelling patterns and word meaning. A copy of the words will be sent home so students will not need to take these words back and forth for the week. The spelling quiz is on Friday, February 8th.

Math

Fractions test on Friday, February 8th. To help your child with this test, it would be useful to review multiplication facts up to 12 (a necessary skill for equivalent fractions and converting between mixed and improper fractions) and by working through the material sent home by your child's math set teacher.
