Next week is going to be fast and furious! We have so much going on between a counselor lesson, a field trip, Open House, AND Progress Reports going home!
In Math this coming week we will still be working on Place Value. Early in the week, we will be reviewing four digit numbers. We will practice again comparing them (using the < and > signs) and ordering them from Least to Greatest and Greatest to Least. We will have a short quiz on place value Tuesday before we move on to five and six digit numbers. We will focus on five and six digit numbers the rest of the week. I will teach the students several Math Station games to reinforce learning in the classroom on Place Value. Ask your child to teach you Skeleton or Tri-Digit Roll at home. If you attend Open House this Thursday, one of their jobs is to teach you one of our Math Station Games!
In Science this week, we will be diving deeper into Matter and focusing on the Three States of Matter. Our main objective for the week is for each student to observe and evaluate a substance/object, and then determine if it is a solid, liquid, or gas based on the properties/characteristics that it contains. They will discover that the particles in each state of matter are different and how that affects the properties of that object. Does it change it shape? Does it pour? Etc....
Above are the particles first a solid, then a liquid, and last a gas for visual reference.
Thank you to all parents who emailed interest in chaperoning this upcoming field trip on Wednesday to the Wortham Center. Unfortunately we are not allotted any monies to take chaperones along on this field trip, so it will be teachers and students only. If you are interested in chaperoning the next one though, please email myself or Mrs. Ford so we can get in touch with you for the next one.
Thank you and have a great week!
