Progress Reports for 3rd & 5th Grade
Parents,
I will be sending home this Friday progress reports for all 3rd and 5th grade PA students.
We will be shortly wrapping up our Algebra Unit in 3rd grade, and although we will continue with our Stock Market Game in 5th grade, I feel a progress report at this time would be best to inform parents of their students work in these areas.
ISAT Testing will take place the first week of March and there will be no PA during this week, so we will wrap up our Algebra Unit before ISAT testing and then move on into our Literature Unit.
For 5th grade students we have learned and played a short version of the stock market game. By giving students an understanding of the stock market, then, we are preparing them to deal knowledgeably with an area of our society that has a vast effect on their lives. After ISAT week we will also begin our Literature Unit.
Parents of fourth grade students please do not feel left out. Your child is currently working in their Literature Unit and will continue until the end of the year. I will be sending progress reports home with all grade levels at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Students have been having fun as they work hard to solve problems in their algebra unit. They are currently wrapping up their Level II unit and will continue to work through February on Level III.
Can you solve this problem?
3x - (-x) + 4 = 2(-x) + 10
Your child can!
