Reminders:
-Band Camp Wednesday-Friday
-Student Led Conferences next week - Wednesday & Thursday
Homework:
Science: We are working on our Landform Tasks (under Science Tab). If you are going to Band Camp make sure you have at least Step 1-3 fully done.
Math: We are exploring three strategies for adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. There are practice equations under Math-Tasks. The first method we've explored is the visual method.

1st Book Report Due November 27th
Book Report #1

Math/Science Updates
Math:
Students have been exploring the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents. We did some work adding, subtracting, and multiplying with decimals. Students are now reviewing how to find equivalent fractions using common factors and multiples. They will build on this skill by adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. From there, we will explore percent, converting between forms, and ordering mixed groups of fractions, decimals and percents. Our culminating activity will be a budget task that will allow students to apply all of these skills.
Science:
Students have been building their knowledge of how the landscape of the earth changes through sudden events and slow, incremental processes. They are examining how geologists use evidence to develop theories about events of the past. We are just starting a project exploring unique landforms. A link to task sheet is posted under the science tab.
