Count down to STAAR!!! That's what the next two weeks will be about in Math. We will have two weeks of review and practicing word problems with old skills we already know. There will be many opportunities in the next two weeks to work in groups and learn from peers, as well as work alone and learn from one's mistakes. In the beginning of this week, we are focusing on probability, reading spinners, reading pictographs and bar graphs. We will have an objective quiz this Tuesday and I expect the kids to do very well. The latter part of the week we will dive into reviewing Multiplication and Division. By Friday, the kids will do a series of word problems on Multiplication and Division word problems. They will have to read the problem and decide what operation will work for that specific problem, then apply the strategies that we have learned in order to solve the problems.
In Science, we are moving on to Living and Non-Living things. In order for something to be classified as "living," it must be alive or it must have been alive at some point. There are three characteristics that we are using to qualify something as living:
1. It MUST reproduce
2. It must acquire or make food
3.It MUST grow/move
The kids will be watching several NF videos on this topic as well as making a flip book this week over Living/Non-Living.
This Friday is FAMILY FAIR!!! If you are in my Homeroom, please sign and return the form that will be telling me how your child will be leaving that day. I will be going to NYC this Thursday night, and I want to make sure that the substitute knows exactly how each kid will be leaving after school. Thanks for your help;-)
Love,
Mrs. S
