Feb 17 to Feb 20

Welcome back from the long weekend!

Today after school will be the first day that the Science Club is meeting.  Anyone that has returned a permission slip is welcome to attend!  We will be working on designing a question to research this afternoon.

Our learning goals for the week are as follows:

Reading: We are finishing Unit 4: The Story of the Earth this week.  The students will be reviewing what they have learned about Earth as well as practicing the various concepts that they learned (irregular verbs, comparative adjectives, vocabulary strategies, contractions).

Spelling: Compound Words

Writing: The students are in the process of creating a paragraph about glaciers.  They will be finishing and typing them using Google docs this week, and they will learn how to search for and insert an image onto their document.

Math:
New Concept:  The students will begin investigating fractions this week.  They will determine how to divide a circle into various fractions (1/4, 1/2, 3/4) and make fraction bars.

Reviewing Concepts (on MobyMax, playing games, review worksheets):  adding and subtracting 2- and 3-digit numbers, finding the missing number in multiplication equations, writing division equations and problems, and identifying symmetry

Have a great week!
Miss Kimpton
