In Science, we are starting a unit on the Earth and its Systems. How can you reason why the sun rises and sets? We made a model to work this question out!Math ~
During Math class this week, we've been reviewing place value and on recognizing the 10 to 1 relationship between the place value positions in our number system. We began the week thinking about defining and finding factors and multiples and then we took it a step further to determine if a certain number is prime or composite. We wrapped up the week by multiplying and dividing numbers (including decimals) by 10, 100, 1,000, etc. Check out these Padlet links to see some of our Math thoughts for the week: Recognizing Patterns of 10 and Factors!
Genius Hour ~
Earlier this week, we were able to meet with Mrs. Arnold in the media center to learn how to access the databases ("Britannica" and "Gale") that will help us with our Genius Hour projects and with research, in general, this year. In just a short time, the students have become quite adept with researching their interests.
Nature's Classroom ~
Rocky, the "principal" from Nature's Classroom, spoke with everyone about our upcoming adventure to Nature's Classroom this week. She explained the trip in detail and answered many of the students' questions about the trip. Please check your child's Friday Folder for the paperwork required to attend Nature's Classroom. If you owe a balance for the trip, this information is included in the Friday Folder as well. Please let us know if you have any further questions about the trip.
English~ We continue in growing our vocabulary and learning about words. We have just finished chapter 1 and we will begin chapter 2 soon.
Our writing projects have begun! The students have been partnered up, and they are writing the words to a short film. This activity allows students to experiment with using sensory details in their writing, and it's a lot of fun!Classroom Donations ~
If you are able to help with donating materials to our classroom, we would welcome the following items: colored cardstock, board games & crafts for indoor Project Block, colored computer paper, self-adhesive laminating sheets & Scotch tape. We really appreciate your help!
