Math and Science Week of May 13th-17th

Parents,

This week will be a whirlwind of events and a little wild!  

In Math this week we are taking our previous learning about multiplying two digit by one digit numbers and we will now be applying them to WORD PROBLEMS!!!  Everyone's favorite.  You will see this in your child's HW on Monday and Tuesday night.  On Wednesday next week will work on the Problem Solving Method and Thursday and Friday we will introduce using Roman Numerals!!!  Yes!!!  This is a really fun thing to learn about because that means we are stating our Winds Of Time Unit.  Have your child look around the house for something that has Roman Numerals on it.  Their HW on Wednesday night is to bring to school something that has Roman Numerals on it.




Yes we are still doing Multiplication Fast Facts!!!  This week will be graded so STUDY, STUDY, STUDY.

In Science we are moving on to Adaptations.  This will be the last thing we study before we embark on our Winds of Time Unit concerning Volcanoes.  In the beginning of the week, we will discuss what exactly are adaptations and why do scientists believe they occur in plants and animals.  Towards the middle of the week, we will get into specific plant and animal adaptations and how these specific adaptations occur in specific habitats and help them survive in that particular Ecosystem.  We will end the week with a Brain Pop video and Quiz on Plant Adaptations.

Special happenings this week: 
1. Roman Soldier presentation in Library on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m.
2. Counselor Lesson on Friday with Ms. Clifton

Have a great week!
Mrs. S
