We are looking forward to some cooler temps so hopefully we can go back outside. Your students are getting in the swing of things and working hard. This week we will be comparing/ordering decimals (5.2B) and adding/subtracting decimals (5.3K). We will take a grade on Wednesday which will be a review on adding/subtracting whole numbers. Homework will be given on Monday and due Thursday. Reminder that September 4 is Labor Day and we will not have school.

We survived the first week of 5th grade math and did it with flying colors! Next week we will continue learning about place value (5.3A) and rounding (5.3C). Something to note – Tuesday we will be taking the MAP test in math and Wednesday the MAP test in reading. This is a tool that helps us pinpoint what skills students have mastered and where we need to spend more time. It is not for a grade. As always, please reach out if you ever have any questions or concerns. Have a restful weekend!

I am so excited for this new year in 5th grade! It was great to meet so many of you at Meet the Teacher. This week we will be getting to know each other. We will review multiplication and division (5.3) and start place value (5.2A). My goal is for us to learn a lot of math and have a great time doing it!
