The Red Team had another successful week of 5th Grade! They are really getting into the rhythm of switching classes and the greater responsibility that accompanies it.
In math,we have begun the year by examining place value of whole numbers. Students have reviewed writing numbers to the millions period using standard form (using digits),word form,and expanded form by breaking the number apart using the values of the digits (ex. 456,329 = 400,000 + 50,000 + 6,000 + 300 + 20 + 9). We extended this review of 4th grade skills by looking at numbers in the billions period. You can help your child by having them compose and decompose various numbers to the billions period. Recognizing the patterns of place value can help aid in success.

We will begin the week by continuing our look at the billions period as we compare and order greater numbers. We will also take a look at benchmark numbers as a way to make reasonable estimates. We will be scheduled to complete a study guide on Friday with our first test tentatively scheduled for Wednesday of next week (September 8th).
