This week starts second trimester. Grades are posted by teachers on Friday, and are available for you to see after that. 

What we are doing this week:

In MUR...
Spelling homework is due Friday. This week we are working on words with the long -U pattern. 

This week we will continue to work with our Mystery Unit where we are reading a book called Mystery in the Rocky Mountains. We will be focusing on summarizing, main idea and supporting detail, and character development. 

In MUM...
Homework is due on Friday. 

This week we are starting to work with decimals. We will be working specifically with place value (tenths and hundredths), comparing and ordering decimals, rounding decimals, and adding and subtracting fractions. 

Even if your child works 5-10 minutes a night on facts they will be successful in class each day. Thank you for your continued support at home!
