notes nightly and review worksheets in their math binders. Class discussions
and activities are very important, so please encourage your child to
participate and pay close attention in class daily. Pages 87-97 from the
Investigations Home book will be helpful. The test over this unit will be on
Thursday, December 3rd. A study guide will be coming home this Thursday.
There will be a couple problems assigned each night for homework. We will be
reviewing in class daily, so study guides need to be brought back to school
each day.
We need to keep studying those math facts, both multiplication and
division!! Be sure to check the Math website,
http://www.smfcsd.org/math/athomeINDS.htm For helpful tips and extra
homework problems to use for extra review.

handed out to the students. Please have your child study the boxes where we
added notes. Also, your child should review the facts on the front of the
page to prepare for the quiz. The children do not need to know the
temperatures in Celsius. We'll continue our unit on the earth Wednesday.

Builders that lived in Ohio over 3,000 years ago. The first group we will
