Math

Ways to have a great day:

a) Always have all of your materials in class (journal, glossary, scissors, glue, highlighter, crayons or color pencils, workbook, planner, etc.)  

b) Always do your homework.  There is always homework!      

c) Practice your multiplication and division facts.  The more you practice, the better you will get.

Students:  Be sure to write your assignments in your planner.

Parents:   Be sure to ask about homework.  Also, students will have a weekly synopsis that should be signed.  This can earn your child a bonus point on the Math test each week.  We are working on our Division Facts.  Please help your child learn these so that his/her grade can improve.  We are working on mastering 100 division facts in 5 minutes.  Below are some links to websites that have excellent Math Skill/Drill games.  These are some that we use in the computer lab at school.

Science

We are currently working in Unit 6 of the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum (Earth and Its Atmosphere).  We will be learning about the Earth's soil, Minerals, Rocks, Constructive & Destructive forces and Earth's Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, and Atmosphere.  

This unit will take about 4 weeks to cover.  Part of the study guide has already been handed out. A project on Rocks and Minerals has been assigned.  It will be due on Nov. 11.  Also, our tentative test date for Unit 6 will be Nov. 13th.

Students:  Remember to study 10 minutes every night from the study guide.  Have someone older than you call out questions daily.

Parents:  Quiz your children often.
