Extra Math Practice

Good morning,

I've graded yesterday's division and multiplication of decimals test. The kiddos have worked extremely hard, and their grades show that! The test will be coming home in the Tuesday folder. Some areas were harder than others. I've identified areas for further work for some students and have provided reteaching/extra practice pages for these goals.

Students are to complete the work at home or as early finisher work during the day. I will offer a learning lunch for each goal over the next 2 weeks. Learning lunch is in my classroom. Students will bring their lunch to the room and we will work and eat together. During these lunches, I will review the pages with those students and will offer any clarification or reteaching necessary.

Here is the learning lunch schedule:

-Division models: Monday, Oct 27 (Lesson 25)
-Multiplication models: Tuesday, Oct 28 (Lesson 17, 20)
-Divide decimals: Thursday, Oct 30 (Lessons 8, 26, 27)
-Multiply decimals: Tuesday, Nov 4 (Lessons 19, 22, 23, 24)

Students should make every effort to have those lesson pages complete by their lunch date so that we can reflect and review together.

I can't wait!
