This Week in Math - Week of March 8th

We are completing our study of probability and possible outcomes. The students received a study guide on Monday to prepare for a quiz on Wednesday, March 10th. This week, we will also focus on finding the range, median, and mode among related sets of data and converting units of length, mass, and capacity.

Additionally, look for "Third Quarter Review" sheets throughout the week that will help your child prepare for next week's end-of-the-quarter math assessment.

Science Test on Friday, March 12th

We are concluding our study of ecosystems, habitats, food chains, and food webs. Look for a study guide on Wednesday to help your child prepare for our chapter test on Friday, March 12th.

Study Island

The students have been working with the math program, Study Island, each Thursday in the computer lab. I have assigned several activities that review and reinforce concepts we have learned up to this point in the school year. If your child has computer access, I highly encourage them to work on these activities at home. The students know their user names and passwords, but if there is some difficulty logging in, email me and I will be able to assist you. For your convenience, you can go directly to the Study Island website by clicking on the math student below.
