Terrific Tuesday

Tonight's homework is:
  • Science: Finish life cycle diagram (must choose between a snake, frog, butterfly, plant, or snail)
  • Reading: Log
  • Math: Study old test for tomorrow's re-test (see newsletter for explanation)
Just a heads-up...when reviewing math today in class, I noticed that many students are struggling in two major areas.  One is comparing decimals by looking at their place value (ex.  Is 0.29 <, >, or = 2.29?), and the other major concern is changing numbers from word form to standard form (ex.  "Which of the following says 'nine million, two hundred twelve thousand, fifteen?'").  PLEASE study with your child tonight--they have the opportunity to raise their math grade tomorrow--I hope they make it worthwhile!

Don't forget to return the Fall Fair and Grandparents' Lunch forms that came home in yesterday's yellow folders.  Happy homeworking!
