This week should be an exciting week since we have a field trip on Thursday!!! Your child will need to bring a sack lunch that day. We will be eating outside, weather permitting of course!
This week in Math we will be taking a closer look at rounding by tens and hundreds, and then applying it to word problems. In the beginning of this week we will take a look at three digit numbers and how to round them by tens as well as review how to round them by 100's. Towards the latter part of the week, we will take the skill of rounding and learn how it can be used with estimation and applied in word problems.
Science should be super fun this week! The study of the planets is about the get really interesting. The kids will be required to know the order of the planets for their test on the Solar System. I have taught them the sentence..."My very excellent mother just served us nachos," to help them remember Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in its correct order. The students will spend some time on Monday making up their own sentences with group members to help them remember. I cant wait to see what they come up with! For the rest of the week, the kids will be working in groups to research a planet they have been assigned. By Friday, the kids will present and I will place planets around the room to represent their distance away from the sun.
I will be sending home a study guide early this week to assist studying for the Solar System test that will be in about nine days. Please take a few minutes nightly to go over the information with your children and keep it fresh on the brain.
Love,
Mrs. S
