Hi families, Happy St. Pat’s Day! Maegen B. got us in the spirit by performing an Irish gig for us! We watched her on TV too! She’s awesome! Mrs. Van and Maegen then taught us a few steps.
This week we hit on a couple tough math concepts. I’ve given students who want more practice an optional worksheet, but I also want to tell you about a great website where a 5th grade teacher has made podcasts reteaching key math concepts. http://mrcoley.com/math.htm
If you scroll down, you’ll see podcasts for
-Reducing Fractions=, converting Improper fractions...
-Least common multiples
-Converting decimals to fractions
These and other podcasts will be really helpful for trickier concepts.
