What we are learning
Writing- We will be working on collecting ideas for writing. Students will be doing lots of pre-writing to collect ideas for their personal narratives.
Math- Students will be working on place value, counting, and comparing numbers to 10,000.
Science- We will be starting a new unit on weather and climate. We will be focusing seasons and what causes the seasons.
Science
We are testing how a mixture effects the size of the gummy bear. Students are placing gummy bears in baking soda, salt water, water, and vinegar and observing what happens. They are measuring the mass and length of these gummy bears each day. Ask your child what is happening with each one.
Failure Friday
We are working on developing a growth mindset. We have been talking about how failure is an opportunity to learn. Each Friday, we are trying something new and celebrating failure! This week kids had to build arches out of snap cubes.
