Here's What We're Working On....
Next week we will be converting using the metric and customary systems through word problems and also work through time conversions. (Hours, minutes, seconds, years, days etc.)
Writing: Students have selected their wax museum character. (Please check in with your child so you can help plan their costume/attire for this project!) We'll be researching and organizing our information through the next week!
Spelling: (Click here) for Core Word List we will be testing on for the remainder of the year.
Reading: This week we focused on paraphrasing information. This skill is important as students develop into researchers!
Next week: How do we determine what's important when we're gathering information?
Science: We're learning about the body's nervous system! Students have identified that there are 3 main parts of brain and are learning about how our nervous system keeps us safe!
Next week: We'll be investigating nerve parts, how messages are sent and received and also how our senses keep us safe!
