Math and Science
Math- We are working on division! Things are going pretty well so far, students seem confident with the standard division equation. Students still need to practice multiplication facts to help them with their division!
Science- We are we are still learning about weather! This includes learning about our atmosphere, weather properties, weather measurement tools, and types of weather patterns. Students are really enjoying learning about weather (especially with all the crazy weather we have been having) but they really need to be practicing their weather vocabulary! (for example: they still like to say it is raining versus saying it is precipitating).
Students are also in their final stages of their feature article. We are typing them this week and next week!
Our test will be next Friday. Look for study guides to go home middle of next week. If we have a few snow days before the test, we will take an extra day to review when we get back.
Specials
Mrs. Dailey's class has PE on Thursday.
Ms. Schreiner's class does not have PE next week.
Reading and Social Studies
In Writing this week, we will take time to have "Author's Chair" so the students can share their pourquoi tales with the class.
In Language Arts, we will continue studying verbs. We have discussed action verbs and tenses and now we will talk about helping verbs and linking verbs.
Social Studies: This week we will continue studying government. We will be discussing the differences between rights and responsibilities and also the services the government provides.
*BOOK PROJECT INFORMATION* Next week, students will be given the assignment for their next book project. We will be going to the library on Monday or Tuesday to learn about the fantasy genre from Mrs. Jones. The students will then choose a FANTASY chapter book (on their level) to complete their book project. They will have three options to choose from to complete the project. Information on this will be coming home after the class goes to the library. I will require a signature from the student and their parent so I know the expectations and rules have been discussed by all. The book project is due on March 4th.
