Math and Science for the Week of April 16th-20th

Parents,

This week will be nothing short of a cramming session for finals!  All week long in Math we will study old concepts in whole group, partners, and alone.  In the early part of this week, we will be going over Objective 1, which covers all number sense.  The kids will be working on ordering numbers, comparing numbers, fractions, money, and place value.  On Tuesday, we will take a quiz independently over these objectives.  Towards the latter part of the week, we will be working on 3-D attributes, temperature, reading graphs and charts, area, and perimeter.  The kids have been enjoying so far working hard in pairs to be the group that receives a 100 on their review packets.  It's become quite the competition in the classroom and I am proud that the kids are taking their learning seriously.

This week in Science we are still discussing Living and Non-Living attributes.  The kids are in the process of making a Living/Non-Living book and and then we will be phasing over to how organisms live together and competition of needs.  Eventually we will be headed towards the study of ecosystems.  

Scholastic orders for my homeroom will be due this Friday.  I hope everyone has a great week ;)

Love,
Mrs. S
