On Friday students were given an optional Thanksgiving break packet. Any work that students do over this break and return to school will be rewarded with extra credit points. If the entire packet is completed, they will earn the extra credit points as well as be invited to eat their lunch at our fancy table in the commons to celebrate. Please feel free to help your child with this packet if needed. This does not have to be an independent activity.
Keep practicing those multiplication facts at home as well! Memorization of the basic facts leaves extra brain power to tackle multi-step problems in math class.
Keep an eye out for opportunities to use math during your holiday gatherings. Shopping for food and gifts can be great practice with estimation and working with decimals.
I am thankful for the opportunity to work with each of our fifth graders this year. They are a special group.
See you in a week!
Mrs. Mezan
