Announcements
Parents,
The school system has purchased a new school web-page program that is scheduled to be activated Dec. 2. Teachers are required to use this as their primary communication with parents, but I will keep this page active for all the videos, blogs, additional information that you will need, but homework, worksheets, and vocabulary will now be found on my school web-page through the Garrard County web-page. Students will no longer be able to access this Weebly page from school, but you can still access it from home using the search for Weebly Wall 4 Math, or from your bookmark or shortcut if you have created one.
For the remainder of the year, students will be taking a multiplication speed test every two weeks, so keep practicing those facts at home. For most students, this not only helps their math grade, but strengthens their skills in learning the facts that will be a part of almost all the math they have through life.
In grammar, we will review prepositional phrases and diagramming the simple and complete subject, as well as the simple and complete predicate in a sentence. We will add helping verbs to the diagrams this week.
Please take a look at my "Homework Help" Link, as this includes some other useful references. One of my favorites is the McMillan McGraw-Hill link. go to the "Learn More" section and check out the Personal Tutor videos. There are often games and activities as well to help your child study. At the very bottom of the page, you can give your child a quiz to see that he/she has mastered the skills taught that day.
Students will always have a math worksheet called Reading Works on Fridays. They need to be checked for accuracy because they count for 100 points in their math grade, as opposed to the daily 10 point assignments. Also, your child will be excused from the following Friday's assignment if they score 100%. Make sure they show all work and include the unit (dollars, minutes, inches, cats, etc.) for each question. We will do the first one together on Friday for practice.
