In Math and Science Week of October 10-14...

Dear Parents,

If you want to stay up to date on your what your child will be doing next week in Math and Science, please read below:

In Math:
We will continue fine tuning our 3-digit addition and subtraction skills.  Students will be introduced to 3 digit subtraction with a medial zero, as well as 3 digit subtraction with two zeros.   Students will continue working on addition and subtraction word problems and trying to decipher if they are combining, take away subtraction, comparative subtraction, or missing part subtraction.  



Our Fast Fact Friday Quiz will consist of subtraction problems only and will be taken for a grade.  Students should be studying facts every night for at least 5 – 8 minutes.   Please see the blog page labeled Helpful Websites to find fun and interactive websites that help your children learn their Math Facts.


In Science:
What a busy week we will have in Science next week!  A study guide and study flashcards were sent home last Thursday to get your child prepared for the Matter Test coming up this Friday.  Please take a couple minutes to help your child review all concepts encompassing Matter.  The district has scheduled a Science Benchmark this week as well.  On Wednesday, your child will be taking a Science Benchmark.  It is not inputted into the grade book and is used for data purposes only.  No WORRIES!!!!


This should be a fun and short week!
Love, Mrs. S
