Last week we focused on physical properties and states of matter in Science. So far we worked on...
- Solid/Liquid/Gas in a glass (Rootbeer Float Science Experiment)
- Science Stations (Float or Sink?, Magnetism, Mass, Physical Properties)
- Temperature (Celsius and Farenheit)
In Math we've learned about:
- Problem Solving
- Adding and Subtracting
- Representing numbers with models
- Perimeter
We have been focusing on characters, events, plot, setting, and problem/solutions in Reading. We have worked with Myths, Fairy Tales, Tall Tales, and Legends this week. And each student completed a "Book Talk" about one of their favorite books!
Coming up next week... we will be learning more about multiplication. If any of you parents want to provide your child with extra practice, I recommend purchasing a set of FLASH CARDS for MULTIPLICATION. If you do purchase a set, have your child practice EACH night. We will be having weekly multiplication tests, to make sure that they master all of their facts!
We are also starting on Biographies and Autobiographies, so watch for information to be coming home about a Project on a famous person for your child to complete.
