November is just flying right on by and here we are already leaving for Thanksgiving! The two days we will be attending school is always hard to plan for a teacher. A LOT of students are always out and you don't want to introduce a new concept! So the Math/Science team has thought up some fun activities/projects for those two days.
In Math, we will be reviewing what we have been learning about the last three weeks with multiplication and division. We will be reading lots of word problems, breaking them down, and figuring out if we need to multiply, divide, add, or even subtract! The kids love the flip charts that we do together because they get to Activ vote their hypothesis and then we solve the problem. We will be taking a grade on their problem solving assignment that is broken up over the two days. Don't worry if you miss, your child will just make it up when they return!
There will be no Homework, Fast Facts, or Problem of the Week in Math this week!!!
In Science, we will be doing two labs that we haven't had the chance to do. One will be a Matter Lab in which the students will make a mixture and then choose the appropriate tool to separate it with. The other Lab will be a Friction Lab in which the kids will use a ramp and a hot wheel car to determine which surface has the least amount of friction. It gets wild in the classroom, but it's so fun!
I hope everyone has a safe and beautiful Thanksgiving with their family. I am thankful for this HCE family and my 46 students that keep me on my toes everyday ;-)
Love,
Ms. S
