There is no math homework tonight. We will be having a comprehensive test on factors and multiplication combinations on Monday, October 5th. Following that test, we will be having a quiz on 2 digit multiplication on Tuesday, October 6th. If all the students can score above an 80 percent, I will give them a cup cake party!
Next week we will be heading into division. It is important for the students to maintain their multiplication skills. To facilitate this effort, I am allowing the students to take home 2 digit multiplication practice sheets. Please encourage your child to practice this skill until they reach mastery.
Language Arts- we are studying run on sentences, comma splices, simple and compound sentences. The students learned that you need a comma and a conjunction to form a compound sentence. Here are some examples of conjunctions:
but, for, as, and, or, while, after, because, while, and although.
Compound sentence: John wanted to wear his jacket, but his mother said no.
Simple sentence: John wanted to wear his jacket.
Comma splice: John wanted to wear his jacket, his mother said no.
Run on: John wanted to wear his jacket his mother said no.
We will be having a language arts test on these concepts this Friday. Please review.
The grades for the science test are in. Unfortunately, I am not proud of the results. Most of the students in block 1 did not do as well. On the contrary, most of my students in block 2 did pretty well. I attribute the results to lack of studying. The study guide has been posted on the blog since last Saturday night, and the students have all of their notes in their AMSTI notebook. Please encourage your child to study for major science tests.
