We had a very busy week in math with adding and subtracting decimals. We did the following Go Math pages and they will be due on Monday, Pg. 199 1-10, Pg. 200 1-6, Pg. 211 1-6, Pg. 212 1-6, Pg. 217 1-5 and Pg. 218 1-6. We will do our Chapter review on Monday and then take our end of the unit Test on Tuesday. Have a good weekend and do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns.
SCIENCE
We are continuing to learn about force and motion. This week we learned about contact forces, such as normal force, applied force, and frictional force. Next week we will be talking about distant forces such as electrical and magnetic force.
Social Studies
We are answering the question, "Who discovered the Americas." Ask your child who they think it was! We analyzed artifacts to help us out with this, and learned about the Vikings. This next week we will learn about resources that were important to exploring and trade.
English Language Arts
In our novel study, Pax, Peter is working on getting stronger. Pax is on the move hoping to reach Peter. However, Pax just encountered a human that he knows. Be sure to ask your child who he has run into.
