Math - Strategies for solving division problems with remainders both in and out of context will be the focus this week.  They will solve problems and  interpret remainders.  There will be a unit 2 post test on Friday of this week.  Place value, multi-digit multiplication, and early division with remainders will be assessed.  They should review the worksheets and workbook pages from unit 2 that we have completed and are in their binders. There will be a review sheet that comes home as well for them to review.   

Spelling - This week the students will continue  working with words that have the "r" controlled vowels. They will be responsible for completing workbook pages 167-169 unless they pass the pretest with 95% or better.  Then they will be given an alternate list of words and activities to do.
