4th Grade: Our 4th grade Wilson Just Words Reading Program students are continuing to combine their first four syllable types to read and spell multisyllabic words.  They completed the unit 10 test the last week of February. All unit test results will be included with March report cards. Fluency work is done on a regular basis.

4th grade math students continue to use iReady to practice skills on their individualized learning paths based on midyear diagnostic results. We also reinforced content from Everyday Math units 4 and 5, particularly fraction operations and line plots.

5th Grade: Our LA sessions have focused on the first 19 units of the Voyager Sopris REWARDS program, utilizing prefixes, bases, Latin roots, and suffixes as well as each of the six syllable types. This will help us to break apart to read as well as spell words utilizing various syllable types.  There is also comprehension work built into the week.  Students took the lessons 15–19 test the last week of February. All second trimester test information will be on the March report card.

Our math sessions have focused on unit 5 content, namely fraction operations and applications to word problems. They continue to use iReady to practice skills on their individualized learning paths based on midyear diagnostic results.
