Math Test on Friday!  We are finishing our unit on division this week and will be practicing division for the test. On Monday we graded the homework from page 213 in the Math book. Several students did not do the checking (multiply the divisor by the quotient and add the remainder). We also began working on a division practice from lesson 10.3 in our book. We will continue this practice on Tuesday in class–no homework. On Wednesday we will practice doing division with a decimal in the dividend and finish up the chapter by looking at estimates to determine if they are reasonable. Thursday we will have DARE during 3rd block. Friday is our test.

Word Study 

Students received a list of 20 words on Monday to review before a test on Friday to identify the correct spelling of these words. We worked a puzzle. Most students finished in class and turned their puzzle in today. 

Bubble Test Word List

We will practice the word list words and learn the last set of words before our next Word Origin Test.
