Math: Things are beginning to really come together - it's funny how fractions become more clear when we relate them to decimals. We have about another week or so of decimal instruction before finishing up with probability. The unit 3 assessment will be around the middle of February. I'll be sure to let you know exactly when...

Tonight for homework they should complete the ordering of decimals work on page 420, numbers 9-25. I would caution you - the few who believed they completed it during class all had significant errors on numbers 20-25.

Language Arts: We have spent the last couple of days discussing point of view in stories. First person being someone in it (uses the pronoun "I") and third person (told through the eyes of someone outside of the story - like a narrator). In addition, we're continuing to grind away with our social studies/writing to be informed research project and will continue for the next week or so.

Word study is due Friday!
