The class is looking forward to attending The Polar Express on Thursday, December 12th. If you have not done so already, please send in your child's permission slip.

There will be an early dismissal day on Tuesday, December 10th. Please plan accordingly. 

The Upcoming Week of School:
Social Science: We will continue our unit titled, Inheritance and Traits. This week our investigations will be focused on comparing and contrasting organisms. 

Math: We will begin the study of Unit 3, Module 3 on fractions and then Module 4 on fractions and decimals. Look for a study guide to come home. There will be a test in the week of December 16th.   I have added videos on Google Classroom for fractions and will do the same for decimals. I also linked the videos below. Students will take a mixed multiplication test on Thursday, December 12th. There will be 40 problems with facts ranging from x0 to x9. Students will have 3 minutes to complete the test. They have received two practice tests.
