Academic Calendar Notes

October 3 - 7

Monday, October 3:  Students were reminded that we have book report no. 1 due Friday, October 28.

Literary Words of the week are: amiable and woe

Tuesday, October 4:

For writing class, second drafts of our expository writing papers are due.

Students had a shortened math session due to a District Opinion Writing Assessment. 

Math class focused on decimal division using place value charts and discs, and compared this to division using the standard algorithm and results with remainders and decimals. There was no new math homework today. 

In computer class, students were introduced to ZEARN.  See the post below for more information on this digital mathematics learning platform.

For Friday students should bring their completed math packets and complete week 5 Reader's response on Thursday night.  

Internet Based Math Learning with Zearn

Students were given a login and password to Zearn - an online math support program connected with Eureka and national math standards.  This program may be used at home as a math extension, tool for understanding, and enrichment.  I can track the students' progress for the work they do at home as well.
