Happy Monday! Quarter 4 is underway. It is hard to believe we are already 3/4 of the way complete!
Our week ahead looks something like this:
In science, we will start the week with electrical circuits, how they work, and then try to test our theories on how they work. We will also begin looking into Science Fair next week, but don't worry- that isn't until May!
In reading, we will work on reading information texts, and how to summarize our reading. We will use our TFK magazines to do this. This will go nicely with our writing. We are using writing time to work on state testing preparations. This year, we will begin a new portion of the test that involves reading several nonfiction articles, and then writing a statement piece addressing all of the articles to support their thoughts or opinions.
Math starts the week wrapping up metric measurements and conversions and we will test over that on Tuesday. Wednesday, we will begin our unit on customary measurement. We plan to test before Spring Break.
As the spring gets busy, please make sure you are encouraging your child to read at home. 20 minutes a day makes a HUGE difference!
You may have noticed a note coming home about our field trip in May. That was NOT our permission slip. Those will come home closer to the date, when we have a more detailed itinerary.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
