MATH

Today we looked at exploring hundredths. The hundredths spot is the second spot after the decimal. For example 3/100 = 0.03, 8/100 = 0.08, 2 2/100 = 2.02, & 3 7/100 = 3.07. Our unit math test will take place on Monday, February 22.

LANUGAGE

Today we continued rehearsing for our speeches. We will be reading and re-reading and re-reading our speeches over the next days! Now is the time to assist your child as often as possible. They need to begin memorizing their speech. We will be reading our speeches on Monday without the assistance of our speech! If they fall under the three-minute mark they may need to add something. It may also have to do with the pace…they may need to slow down.

Students are expected to read for at least 20 minutes everyday. They can record it in their reading log. Reading logs will be checked every Friday.

UOI

Today we read and completed some activities on buying and selling with other communities. We also took up yesterdays and todays work.

Have a great night!
