Math Quiz from last Friday

I am sending home the math quiz that was taken last Friday. The grades were not as good as I hoped they would be so I am not putting this grade in the grade book. I am, however, asking that you take some time tonight to review the problems that were missed with your child to make sure they understand them for the test tomorrow. We reviewed quite a bit today in class but I would like for them to study a little tonight as well. I am not giving the normal homework in hopes that you will help your child prepare for the test tomorrow. Thank you for all of your help!

Tests for this week:

• Thursday - Spelling
• Friday - Reading and vocab., Language, Math Quiz, Science Quiz

Math Test - I have moved the Math test to next Tuesday because I feel they all need a little more practice with some of the skills.

Math Quiz - will be a review to make sure they are ready for the test. It is not a big deal and I will not be sending home study material.

Science Quiz - We are studying Simple Machines this week. They should have brought home a booklet about simple machines today. This is their study material for this quiz. We will discuss each type of simple machine each day and talk about examples of each. The quiz on Friday will be identifying examples of each simple machine.

Language - will be on some of the capitalization rules.

Graded Papers - I will be sending home both sets of graded papers tomorrow! I am sorry that I forgot them last week.
