Problem of the Day 36

Reena and Pauline have some bookmarks. If Reena gives Pauline 28 bookmarks, they will have the same number of bookmarks. If Pauline gives Reena 35 bookmarks, she will have 1/3 of what Reena has. How many bookmarks does Reena have?

Fraction Practice

As a class, though we improved on our story problems, we made many simple mistakes on our last test. To master the addition and subtraction of fractions we are working today and tomorrow on a review packet in class based off the problems that each student had on the test.  That being said, though we will begin chapter 4 next week, we will have a second test on next Wednesday to see if we have mastered these skills. Work not finished by tomorrow will be homework for the long weekend.

In Reading we talked about how identifying struggle and motivations is a key to understand a character. We started two new books: Remnants:Mayflower Project and Stormbreaker.

In Technology we started our Photo Scavenger project. In Band we worked on one new chord: E. We also looked at a Christmas song to practice for our winter show.
