What Did We Learn This Week?
Language Arts
Math
Science
This week in science we learned about our 6th simple machine: wheel and axle. We then did different review activities of all six of the simple machines. We enjoyed finding the hidden simple machines and learning more about them on this website: http://www.edheads.org/activities/simple-machines/. This is a great website to help them review for their test! Science folders will be going home this weekend with review sheets to start studying for the test. The tutorial for the science test will be next Thursday, February 25 at 3:20-3:50. Please let me know if your child can attend. We will take the test on Friday, February 26. We are also excited about High Touch High Tech coming on Wednesday to lead us in Simple Machine activities!
