1. Last Friday's decimal quiz was returned today. We went over the correct answers in class and students were asked to bring the quiz home tonight for you to see. If your child did not perform well, please sit down and go over the quiz again with them. I noticed many students were having difficulties borrowing when subtracting and making multiplication errors. Many students are also struggling with
the process of long division, especially when the divisor is also a decimal. This material will be seen again on future quizzes and tests. Below are two websites in addition to the online textbook that you
can use at home to help your children. These sites are also included under "helpful websites".
2. Please remember to check your child’s agenda each night. Homework is now being given and several students have already received zeros or incompletes.
3. Also please make sure that your child is keeping up with their unit 1 study guide so that is does not become overwhelming for them. Part A should be complete by now and we will begin looking at Part B concepts later in the week. The students are currently completing a performance task where they are planning a fictitious trip to Six Flags over Texas based on their understanding of decimal concepts.
4. Infinite Campus is now OPEN !!!
Please set up an account and check out your child's grades (Instructions are under "helpful documents"). Infinite Campus is updated on a weekly basis. Current math grades will be entered by the end of the week.
