Mathematics
We will be starting an independent project creating and drawing a geometric town. Students will be using their knowledge of lines, angles, and shapes to create a town incorporating all these features. Students will be given about 30 minutes of time in class daily to work on this project but may need to finish the project at home. The project is due Wednesday, February 19th. When finished, these projects will be going on the bulletin board to display our knowledge and creativity.
*If you have a protractor at your house, please have the student bring it back ASAP.*
Science
Essential Questions: What is electricity? How do we use electricity? How can we construct an electric circuit? What are some conductors and insulators? What is heat and how does heat transfer?
Writing
Reading
We are starting our Non-Fiction/Informational Unit for the next 6 weeks. We will have a Quiz on Tuesday over non-fiction text features. We have been studying them and figuring out how they help us read non-fiction text. This week we are going to be focusing on identifying the main idea and the supporting details in a text. We will be also be learning how to respond and record our thoughts when reading non-fiction. We will be using our mini-lessons in reading in our writing unit as well, to help us organize and record our research information for our region of Indiana.
Reminders
- Our friendship party is THIS friday if students are interested in bringing in Valentine's please make sure they address them to every student in the class (See class list attachment for names) and bring them on Friday.
- NWEA reports will go home via student take home folders this week.
- Last Friday we had Jim "Basketball" Jones visit our school for a school-wide assembly. He had great reminders for students to be kind, practice 'patient listening', and understanding it's okay to make mistakes. Ask your students about it! (See below for a picture of Jim and our students practicing kindness to one another)
