Students began this week by taking time to review there Unit 6 Assessments. Many students did very well and showed mastery of the skills we learned. However, there were a few students that had difficulty with the addition and subtraction of fractions and data collection. As a result, I decided to create a study group during recess each day this week. I will use the time to reteach the skills that were not mastered.
I am so proud of all of the students in my fifth grade math classes. Without hesitation, your children have come each day, missing recess, worked hard, and show determination to do well.
Our classes have continued to move into Unit 7. This unit will focus on parenthesis, exponents and order of operation. Most kids really like this unit. We did cover exponents and base 10 exponents earlier in the years. As a result, we will quickly touch on those to review and then move onHomew to order of operation.
Students have taken vocabulary notes. Please remind your child to review the vocabulary as those words are important to finding success in class.
