"No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."
What Will We Be Learning This Week?
Math
We will begin fractions next week. We will make fraction bars to show the size of fractions relative to one another. We will discuss the following vocabulary: fraction, numerator, denominator, and unit fraction. Students will use the fraction bars to add, subtract and compare fractions.
Science
Science was great this week. Students created Series and Parallel circuits using wires, bulbs, batteries and Snap Circuits. We will look at insulators and conductors in the next few weeks.
Squid Science Field Trip: The Catawba Science Center will be coming to Blackburn on Tuesday, November 29th to present the Squid Science Outreach Program to 4th graders. The cost of this experience is $10.00 per student. Permission Forms were sent home last Monday and are due on November 29th. Let Ms. Ellis know if you need an additional form.
