Team Mindcrafters Weekly Update 12-11-17

Parents,


Social Studies - We are finishing up our economics unit this week. Thursday's homework will be to take a practice test. This will be posted in Google Classroom Thursday night, and the test will be on Friday. Students will be able to take the practice test more than once.

Math.  We will be finishing multiplication and starting "long division" this week.  Tomorrow's homework will be to watch a Learn Zillion video teaching a method which is unfamiliar to most parents and certainly all students called the partial quotient method for long division.  (We will learn the standard algorithm later).  I will tell the students that my expectation is for them to simply do their best effort using this method.  As it won't be taught in class until Thursday, it is meant to pre-teach this topic.  If any students have trouble with it, we will also go over the worksheet at school if needed.
