Hello and welcome to Week 20! We're officially in Quarter 3: Facing Challenges. This unit asks us, "when should we stand up for other and ourselves?" We will continue discovering our answers with the start of our novel study, "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor. We are continuing with our Greek/Latin Root Words and start Unit 15: "Nine, Ten & Hundred." As always, we're working on our reading stamina with 10 minutes, daily, of free reading Absences- If a student is absent, they are responsible for making up all missed work in a timely manner. This can be done through Canvas. There is a message on our Canvas homepage with specific directions on what to do when absent. Please make sure your student comes to class every day with their ELA folder, a charged Chromebook and their Chromebook charging cord. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Math - Mr. Collins
This week in math we will begin to integrate long division of whole numbers with division of decimal operations. Students will estimate quotients and develop an algorithm for dividing whole numbers and aligning decimals to the appropriate place value. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Science- Ms. Parker

Students will take a Vocabulary Quiz on Friday and we will begin discussing our Planet Project guidelines. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Social Studies - Ms. Crosson This week we will begin unit 3: The Early Diaspora.
