Math: Worksheet, 1-10. We are still working on fractions and one of the biggest concepts that your child needs to fully grasp is the relationship between what the top and bottom of a fraction mean. The top, the numerator, tells us how many pieces we have. The bottom number, the denominator, tells us how many pieces are needed to make a whole. This understanding is the foundation of all we do in fractions. When kids don't understand this, they have trouble converting improper fractions into mixed numbers and vice versa. They also have difficulty adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions.
Language: New spelling and vocabulary words today. Test Thursday.

This is a short week, due to a teacher professional development day on Friday! No school Friday, so Thursday is a short day!!
