Math and Science Week of September 22nd

Parents,

We have a full week this week!  On Wednesday we will be visited by an Author in the library, Thursday we have our first field trip, and on Friday your child will bring home their progress report.  Be looking for that over the weekend to sign and return.

This week in Math we will take what we know about rounding to the nearest ten and hundred, addition, and subtraction and put it all together.  The kids will be required to look at a three digit Math problem, round the numbers, and then solve like this:

You will see some rounding practice come home every day this week.  Monday we will round to the nearest ten, Tuesday to the nearest 100, and on Wednesday we will round a three digit two different ways, to the nearest ten AND hundred.

EX: 329 to the nearest TEN is 330
EX: 329 to the nearest HUNDRED is 300

On Thursday the kids will bring home a Chapter Review and will need to study it on Thursday night for the Unit test on Chapter 2.  If the kids don't finish the study guide at school, please work on it with them at home.  The test will be on Friday.

Science is fun this week!  We will be diving into properties of Matter.  The kids will have a lab on Tuesday and Wednesday that is a station rotation.  It will be six different stations discovering mass, texture, magnetism, temperature.  The kids will get to use a lot of different Science tools and explore.  Here's a pic of our Gobstopper Experiment this past week.  Ask the kids to tell you all about it!



It's going to be a busy and fun week!
Love, Ms. S
