This Week


Homework:
Math: Math Worksheet
Reading: Reading log 
Writing: Word Study Homework 




This week we are learning:

Math: We will have our checkpoint over financial literacy, measurement, and area on Monday. We will then start our unit over time. Students will be able to read and write time to the nearest one minute increment using analog and digital clocks and distinguish between a.m. and p.m. This week we will be focusing closely on distinguishing from a.m. and p.m. activities. Students will also have a great deal of practice telling time to the nearest half hour, as well as, read clocks to the nearest 5 minutes.

Science: We will begin our unit on force.  Students will be taking down vocabulary over the topic as well as have many hands on labs where they will get to trace the changes in position of an object over time such as a cup rolling on the floor and a car rolling down a ramp. Furthermore, they will be comparing patterns of movement of objects such as sliding and rolling and spinning.

Reading: Students will be learning how to take notes/ research/ record in their own words.

Writing: Students will be writing about historical figures.

Social Studies: Students will be learning about famous historical figures and inventors.
