In Math last week we measured many things to the nearest inch using the U.S. customary system. We were only able to spend one day on Perimeter, so that's what we are getting into a little bit deeper this week. Students will initially be given the dimensions and will have to calculate the Perimeter by finding the sum of all the sides. Once there is a complete understanding of that, we will move on to calculating the dimensions of a side when then Perimeter is given. On Wednesday, the students will take a quiz on measurement and finding perimeter. In the latter part of the week, we will be moving on to finding patterns in a list and patterns on a number line.
Last week in Math, the kids also to an Addition and Subtraction FF Test in one minute. This week will be for a grade so study, study, STUDY!!!
In Science this week, we will continue with our new unit of study. We barely skimmed the surface of energy last week with all that went on with Red Ribbon Week and the two half days. Students will continue studying the concept of Energy. We will review Mechanical (Potential and Kinetic) Energy learned in detail last week, and then we will move on to Heat, Sound, and Light Energy. The students are also becoming familiar with what Force is-a push or a pull, and how energy is transferred from one object to another.
We are excited about winning the food drive competition, so one of the Houston Rockets players will be coming to see us on Monday afternoon! Wednesday is also our library/counselor day.
