I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break! This week in math we are starting Standard 1 which is Algebra! This is one of my favorite things to teach! Our focus for this week will be function tables and learning the order of operations for equations. Check out these websites below for some extra help.

Here is the WeatherBug web address that we learned about today in science. Try some of the activities and watch what happens with the weather through the camera! Have fun!

We will be having a Benchmark 1 Test on November 15, 2012. This test will cover everything we have learned in math this year. I have included below the study guide. Please begin reviewing each night for the test. That way it will not be so overwhelming the night before the test! :)

On Monday, we will be presenting our science inquiry projects. Please remember to bring all of the materials you need to present. I can't wait to see your presentations!!

In math we will be working with converting fractions to decimals and percents. If you need some extra help with this, visit this website: http://www.mathsisfun.com/decimal-fraction-percentage.html 

Looking forward to a great week!!!
