Math
This week in math we are starting our volume unit! This unit is hands on and is super fun for students! I am excited to be able to teach this concept to our fifth graders. Students will find the volume of rectangular prisms, using drawings and written descriptions. Students will also be exposed to the volume formula (length x width x height = volume).
Again, this unit is very hands on and very visual. Students will be building rectangular prisms in class to help with the understanding of volume.
There will be a spiral review quiz on Friday, September 6th.
Science- Mohler Homeroom
On Friday, September 6th, there will be a quiz covering the week's content. Students are able to bring their science journal home to study. Students can also study by logging onto their DiscoveryEd Techbook and look under the concept 1.1 Changing States. The link to access the Techbook is: https://kcs.discoveryeducation.com. There will not be a formal study guide.
Learning Targets:
- I can analyze and interpret data from observations and measurements.
- I can show how physical properties of matter explain phase changes.
