Pyburn News 3/24/14
Because of case 21 testing we will have the same weekly words and vocabulary words as last week. Tomorrow we will be doing the math portion of the case 21 testing. I am so proud of the work that our students did today on the reading part. Please be sure your student has a great breakfast and it's at school on time tomorrow. And math we will continue to work on fractions and have a small math quiz on Friday. In reading we will be looking at cause-and-effect and the point of view of the author. 
Ms. Hill came into class twice last week and talk to us about cause-and-effect clue words. Be sure to ask your student to give you an example of what these mean. They definitely should be able to tell you about it :)
Math notes 3/24/14
Fraction model and fraction number line from wcpss. We did this example as a whole class and with our partners and decided that chocolate bar A and chocolate bar B are equivalent. 3/24/14
With out partners we completed each scenario using fraction models and number lines. They should be stapled on top of your students math homework tonight.
This is the answer to scenario 1 that we did together. The fraction model and the fraction number line should be equivalent for three out of four of the scenarios.
