This week in Math we will be finishing up our study on the division of fractions, including story problems. I have noticed that many students can figure out the correct number sentence when they know the correct operation, but students are still struggling with figuring out the correct operation when the story problems are mixed up. Because of this, at the end of the week, we will study a variety of story problems where students have to determine the operation before writing a number sentence and solving. Although we went over key words to each of the operations last week, the students must also think about each story problem and what it means, as well as notice the labels, for a hint on the type of story problem
In Science, we will start out the week having a vocabulary quiz based on all of the vocabulary we've studied in this unit. We will also continue to study the effects of erosion on different landforms, such as coastal lines, rivers, etc. At the end of the week, we will relate all of this back to Boomtown to go towards helping us figure out what type of landform would be the best to build on.
In Advisory students are expected to have their 10 words or 5 phrases that are from their country's language by Tuesday. This is so that they can practice saying these words/phrases so that they have a good attempt at being able to say these words to the best of their ability at the exhibition.
Now, the students should be working on their Social Studies topics, including getting a map (with large cities shown), having a flag (and knowing what the colors and objects in the flag represent), government (which we will discuss more in-depth in class), a minimum of 2 important holidays (explaining the importance of the holiday), and a minimum of 3 important historical events (explaining the importance of the events). The next check-in, where students should have their map (with cities identified) and flag (with information on what everything represents) will take place on Monday, January 25th, so students have one full week to complete this.
Any questions? Feel free to let me know -- email me or contact me at school! See you Tuesday.

Hi Mrs.Perez I got the 10 words and 5 phrases and I am still studing the vocab. words but my question was do we have to have our whole packet finished for homework by Tuesday?
ReplyDeleteWhat whole packet Khaila? All you have to have for advisory tomorrow are your 10 words/5 phrases -- I'm not sure what packet you are referring to.
ReplyDeletei think khaila is meaning math
ReplyDeleteOh, that is possible Ananda. If that is the case, Khaila, the only part of the homework packet that you had to do were the first two assignments (Investigation 4.1 and Investigation 4.2). We will do 4.3 tomorrow and 4.4 on Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteChristina -- I'm sorry to hear that. You should double check in your locker. If you can't find it, it will be $4.95 to replace the book. Bringing it Friday or Monday will be find. Keep looking -- maybe you'll be able to find it by then!
