Greetings!
I hope this note finds you well! We had a fantastic first week back last week. The majority of students are finished with their book reviews and they are turning out to be fantastic writing samples! Since we typed the final draft, I'll put up a link to them on our website next week. I encourage you to have your child read through them since it's a great way to find out about books their classmates are reading and enjoying!
I've set up a Khan Academy account for each child using their mountainesd accounts. Feel free to encourage your child log in at home to practice. I'll be "coaching" them by recommending assignments that are related to what we are learning about in class, this week: fractions. I've selected a few videos for you to watch with your child at home to help with understanding the concepts.
4th Grade Parents:
Please watch the first 4 minutes of this video with your child to help understand how and why to find equivalent fractions before we can compare them.
5th Grade Parents:
Please watch this video with your child to help understand how and why converting improper fractions into mixed numbers is actually division.
I will be holding Homework Club this week on MONDAY afternoon, not Thursday (due to a meeting). If your child plans to attend, please plan pick them up around 3:30. It's a great way to collaborate with classmates as well as get a little extra help!
Please mark your calendar for Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday next Monday, 1/19. There will be no school.
Thank you, as always for your continued support both in the classroom and at home! We all benefit from your commitment to the learning environment. If you have any questions or comments, please email me at rhonig@mountainesd.org.
Best,
Mrs. Honig
