Math: Parent reports are coming home tonight with your student's Unit 3 assessment data. Please let me know if you have any questions about how to interpret it. Remember, the bottom section is the 5th grade content...
Today we continued discussing strategies to determine elapsed time. In addition, we reviewed how to determine the area and perimeter of geometric shapes using graph paper. This is a concept that is usually assessed on the MSA but isn't covered during the 4th grade curriculum sequence until the 4th quarter so we bring it up now...
The amount of homework depends on if your student was pulled for the area and perimeter small group work...p. 121-123 #s 2-27 all
or odd only.
