Thank you to the parents and relatives that came out last Friday to support our Science Fair. The students enjoyed sharing their projects with you! Here's what we are doing this week:
In Word Work, students will continue Word Wisdom Unit 5: Measurement. We will work the final part of Unit 5 (Part 4) to review the 30 words we’ve learned and their meanings. In literature study we will finish reading the poetry novel Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech and work on writing our own poetry. In writing workshop, students will receive the rubric for their poetry booklet. Students will write 6 different poems based on different criteria we have discussed in class.
This week, students will continue to divide numbers by a 1-digit divisor. They will see whole number quotients, quotients with remainders, and quotients with a zero in them. Students will transition into relating multiplication with using appropriate operations to perform calculations on whole numbers, fractions, and decimals according to the context and nature of the computation.
In science, students will create an experiment to investigate the difference in air temperature in the sun and in the shade.
