In Math this week, we will begin working in measurement as we use rulers to find the length of objects using the customary measurement system. We will focus on inches, feet, yards, and miles. Students will practice predicting the length of objects around the room, measuring with rulers, and then calculate the difference between the predicted and the actual length.

We will also work on the concept of Perimeter. We will talk about the border around our bulletin boards or the fence around the school to introduce the concept of a perimeter. To find the perimeter, students will measure all sides of an object or shape and then find the sum of these sides. To challenge your child on perimeter, give them the total perimeter of an object or shape and encourage them to find all the possible lengths that could equal the given perimeter.
In Science this week, we will begin our new unit of study. Students will begin studying the concept of Energy. We will review four forms of energy: sound, light, heat, and mechanical.
We will begin with Mechanical Energy and discover that there are two types of Mechanical Energy: Potential and Kinetic.
PLEASE REMEMBER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE HALF DAYS AND THE STUDENTS WILL GET OUT AT NOON!!!!
Love,
Mrs. S
