We finished topic 13 this week and took our topic test. We have started our review for SC Ready. We started with measurement. Have your child help with measuring around the house. We talked about customary measurement today and we will review our metric system on Monday. Each day next week we will work on a different topic with some Study Island, games, worksheets, and other materials to try and make it fun while remembering all of the things we have studied this year.Study Island is crucial at this point. Students are working on Study Island lessons during RTI time instead of ALEKS for the next couple of weeks. This means that there will be 2 assignments each week. Students will need to work efficiently on these assignments. I have found in the past that students wait until the last day to work on them. Please encourage your child to start on day 1 of the assignment so that they don’t fall behind. Next week students will have assignments #17 and #18 (which is a post test with a little of everything on it).
If students finish their Study Island lessons, they can do ALEKS for extra credit. Until testing is complete, ALEKS will be for extra credit. I will only give 10 points per week so if they do more than 10, I will only put a 10 in the gradebook. If they don’t do any ALEKS it won’t count against them for those few weeks. Please, please, please have students working on Study Island over the next two weeks. It can only help them review and do better on any testing.

We started talking about sounds today. We did several investigations with sound. Ask your child what kinds of things they did this week. They should be able to tell you that sound is caused by vibrations and must have a medium to move through in order for us to hear them. We also started talking about the difference in pitch and volume and will continue with pitch and volume next week.
We took a Quizizz quiz this week. Students were able to take it up to 2 times and the best score was recorded in the gradebook. We reviewed right before taking it in hopes of helping them remember what was discussed about light. I will be giving some more classwork grades in the next 2 weeks. Some of them might be Quizizz or Quizlet activities that will be done on their chromebooks.
