Math: Students will be coming home with the Chapter 3 Test today over Multiplication and Division.  While some of the scores were very good, there were still several students that did not score as well.  As we have stated at the beginning of the year, this new math program is much more challenging than what the students are used to doing.  Instead of just computing problems for a math test, students are now being asked higher level thinking questions in which they have to apply what they have learned.  Many of the problems on the test require several steps before getting the "final" answer.  If a mistake is made in any of the previous steps, the final answer will not be correct.  We spent several days working on the test, discussing the test, and correcting missed questions on the test.  Please take time to look at the test and discuss it with your child.  Take time to practice and review the missed concepts.  We will continue to practice them as well.
A shorter study guide for December vocabulary words was sent home in Friday folders today.  We will have an assessment over the December words (many of which are review words) next Thursday, Dec. 15th.  Students will also be asked to identify the 3-dimensional shapes that we have been studying this month.  Thank you, in advance, for helping your child study!
