Mastery Club Hall of Fame
Math & Science with Ms. Ellis
Students are busy exploring patterns in multiplication and division in math class. It is important to learn that multiplication and division are inverse operations that relate to one another. Students are realizing that if they know that 4 x 6 = 24, they should also know that 24 / 6 = 4. Although multiplications were taught last year, we are finding that students are in need of practice. I can’t stress enough how important it is that your child have the multiplications memorized prior to investigating higher level math concepts. Please practice multiplications at home.
We have begun Accelerated Math! Students are not expected to meet a goal this week, as we are just getting started. Students are expected to master at least 3 objectives by next Friday, September 20th. We are desperately in need of printer paper for Accelerated Math. If you are able to send in any paper, we would greatly appreciate any donations. Send them in anytime!
Ms. Ellis’ science class is learning about Static Electricity in science. We have conducted an experiment with balloons and have discussed atoms, protons, electrons, and positive/negative charges. We have watched videos on Discovery Education that show what causes lightning and how it is an example of static electricity. Take the time to ask your child what causes static electricity.
Language Arts & Social Studies with Mrs. Esposito
Students have learned about the four categories our social studies concepts are divided into: Geography and Environmental Literacy, History of North Carolina, N.C. Government, and Impacts of N. C. Market Economy. We began our study by discussing North Carolina’s location by using a map. We will continue this discussion by focusing on the three regions of North Carolina.
