"We know what we are, but know not what we may be."
What Will We Be Learning This Week?
Math
Students will continue to work on long division of two, three and four digit numbers. The method students are learning is probably different from the method we learned in school. Please allow them to practice the method taught in class. Switching methods can be very confusing for students.
Accelerated math objectives remain due on Thursday afternoons. Most students are working hard to meet these goals, but may need to work on assignments at home to maintain the pace. Students are learning to keyboard score and rescore their own assignments which enables them to meet goals more readily. They are doing a great job!
Science
Students will continue to experiment with Current Electricity in Science. We will be trying out switches and testing for conductors and insulators next week.
Language Arts
We will be finishing Because of Winn-Dixie this week. On Friday we will be watching the movie as a culminating activity for our unit. Since the movie is rated PG, we need to get your approval for your child to be able to watch it. I am sending home a permission slip today. Also, a link to the permission slip is below.
