Wow! It seems like today barely got started and then we were done!
Parent Information Update: The grading scale at Northpoint looks like this 85-100% = P (proficient), 65-84% = M (Making Progress) anything less than 65% = N (Needs Improvement). We ask that any test or quiz that scores an N is signed by a parent and returned to school the next school day. This is to help make sure that the not so good scores are also seen by parents and not hidden in lockers.
Language Arts:
Today we went to gym and then had a fire drill. So we spent some time reviewing the procedures for the various safety drills at Northpoint. We then took a vocabulary quiz over chapter 3. We also talked about the answers to chapter 3 comprehension questions. We previewed the vocabulary in chapter 4 and read the chapter. Students then worked on answering chapter 4 comprehension questions. We then helped our new friends get caught up on vocab vine cards.
HW: Finish comprehension questions, study for vocab quiz, and read for 20-30 minutes.
Math:
Today we reviewed math skills and multiplication facts. We reviewed factors and divisibility. We started to learn divisibility rules. Ask your child how to know if a number is divisible by 2,3,6, 9, 5, and 10 without doing the division.
