Time Capsule Exhibit
Parents, we hope that you can visit the school to see our Time Capsule exhibit/gallery walk tomorrow between the hours of 10-11:30 and/or 1-2. Our class will be "hosting" between 10-10:30 so if you'd like to see your own child, that would be the time to come.
I'll post pictures later this week in case you can't make it.

Reminder: Math & Science Quizzes
Students, this is a reminder that you will have your final two quizzes of the year this week.
For information on the Fractions and Decimals quiz, click here.
For Science, you know that your quiz will be on Plants. Here are some things you should know to be prepared for the quiz.
- Identify ways that plants are important to humans
- Provide examples of seed dispersal
- Explain what a seed plant needs to survive
- Explain the job of different plant parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds)
- Provide examples of pollinators and explain why pollinators are important
- Use Science vocabulary correctly, such as photosynthesis, chlorophyll, dormant, seed coat, embryo (baby plant in the seed), deciduous, coniferous
If you feel that you need to practice/learn any of this information, check on the Google Classroom under "Science" for many videos and websites we used this month.

Fractions & Decimals Work and Upcoming Quiz
- are a part of a whole
- the pieces of a fraction are equal
- the top number is called the numerator and the bottom number is called the denominator
- the line in between the numerator and denominator is a division line
- when we cut the fractions into smaller pieces, the denominator gets bigger
- are connected to division because we can use fractions sometimes to represent a remainder
- the language we use to express a fraction has a "th" at the end of it (for example, "seven hundredths," "two tenths," "two hundredths," "four hundredths," "two thousandths," "two millionths," "one fifth," "three sixths.
- the denominator has a base of ten (10, 100, 1000, etc)
- Write a fraction to represent a given picture.
- Write a decimal to represent a given picture.
- Draw a picture to represent a given fraction.
- Draw a picture to represent a given decimal.
- Order fractions (with the same denominator) and decimals from least to greatest.
- Circle objects in sets to show a given fraction or decimal.
