Math:
Singapore spends a lot of time working on adding and subtracting unit of measure.  After talking with the fourth and fifth grade teachers we will be cutting most if the adding and subtracting part out.  This is not used in fourth and fifth grade.  Because of this we cut some of this out and use the time to add days in to review multiplication and division.  In the exercise to come you will see that not all the exercises will be completed.  You are welcome to practice and complete these on your own.  If you have any questions, please come talk with me.

Be practicing multiplication/division facts.

Grammar:
This week we will be starting a unit on punctuation.  This unit will be a little different than the book.  We are not going to require the students to memorize the rule numbers according to Shurley.  Worksheets will be sent home to practice adding in capital letter, commas and periods.  If you have any questions, please let me know.


Composition:
This week we are writing an opening paragraph to introduce the main ideas of the paper. Then we will add each of the papers we have been working on to the introductory paragraph. Please keep each paper to add into the final paper.

All final drafts have to be written in cursive.
