Happy Friday!
Reminders:
Open Minds is only 5
weeks away for 5-3! Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering
the week of May 27-31st, we still need volunteers on Tuesday May 28th
and Friday May 31st.
Math/Science:
This week in math we created
a study guide and reviewed the concepts covered within our fractions and
decimal unit. Students spent the week focusing on studying the parts of this
unit that were the hardest for them to understand in preparation for our fraction
check in on Thursday. Students did a wonderful job advocating for what area
they needed to study to prepare and what style of studying they would use,
games, practice sheets and discussion with the teacher and peers. Next week we
will start shapes and space, a unit that will focus on spatial awareness and
movement, area, perimeter and volume and 2D and 3D shapes.
In science, we looked at
the anatomy of a light bulb and batteries. We discussed the difference between
secondary and primary batteries and tasked students with completing a battery
scavenger hunt at home over the next couple of weeks. Students learned about
the different parts needed within a circuit, focusing on understanding both the
definition and the electrical symbol that is attached to each electrical component.
Have a wonderful weekend!
