P.S. As a side note, students will not be able to bring home their opinion writing rough drafts or final copies to work on it.  I have given the students a fair timeline to complete their work, and it all must be done in class.  Please do not ask your child to bring home their rough draft, as I will not grade any papers that leave the classroom to be worked on.  This is to improve their work efficiency as well as their independence, and ability to collaborate with their peers.  Thank you!

Classwork

Math
Students are working on division.  View my previous blog post for videos and examples on partial quotients.  It is very different from standard algorithm.

Reading
This week, we are working on constructed response questions in class.  We worked on annotating the article today, and will be looking at the article again tomorrow.  Tomorrow, we will also look deeply at questions, and use the RACE strategy to answer the questions.  Students will have a quick check assessment on Thursday or Friday which will require them to answer 3 constructed response questions about the passage we are reviewing in class.

Writing
We have started our research and graphic organizers for our opinion writing.  We will be starting our rough draft's on Thursday.  Please check in with your child and ask them what they are writing their opinion piece about, some of them are very interesting and unique!

We just finished our unit on force and motion.  Students took a pop quiz on Monday, so be on the look out for those grades.
