Dear Parents,
This week in Math we will be studying a culmination of things. We are going to finish up learning about Area and have a day of Problem Solving to go back over deciding on an operation. Then we will be moving on to Geometry for the next couple of weeks. In the later part of the week, we will be learning about congruent shapes. All students will identify congruent and non-congruent shapes. Two shapes are congruent when they are identical in shape and size. In other words, if you place an object in front of a mirror, the image that you see is congruent or " equal " to the object. The students should pick up on this math concept fairly quickly.
We have moved on to weather in Science. Last week we focused on Weather tools and the students and I made a flip chart together of 8 major tools that meteorologists use to predict the weather. They are as follows:
1. Weather Balloons
2. Thermometer
3. Barometer
4. Hygrometer
5. Anemometer
6. Wind Vane
7. Rain Gauge
8. Weather Satellites
This is vocabulary that they will most certainly need to know for a future test. This week we will be studying the Water Cycle and Types of Clouds. Flashcards will be made here at school and will be coming home in the latter part of the week.
The kids will have a counselor lesson this week and we will be dedicating some time to a typing technology that we must implement into our classrooms for the remainder of the year. It should be fun!
Love, Mrs. S
