The holidays are upon us but it is still important for all students to follow directions, be safe, and be responsible! We have been watching a video series on respect and the important of using it with others. I have posted these videos for you on Class Dojo, so you can be a part of the discussion with your child.
We have started our Science project for the Science Fair in January! We will be working with magnets to discover which "Christmas items" stick to the magnet and why. We have already begun our questions and research of our sources. Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at our hypothesis, materials, taking part in the experiment and data collection, then analyzing that data and reflecting on it. Each student is completing an in-class Science journal and we will be creating a class presentation board to turn in as well. In ELA, our new unit is titled "Live and Learn". We have investigated the Earth's forces, what is up in the sky, and ways people help. This week, we will investigate the weather and how to express yourself. The genre is opinion writing and we are looking at both fiction and informational text. In fluency we will focus on intonation, expression, phrasing, and pronunciation. In grammar, we will focus on the use of verbs. In comprehension, we are reading to find the author's purpose. In Math, we have begun Unit 4, on Measurement! We have already started using inches and feet and will begin adding yards this week. We will also look at proportion and fractions, as well as how to think in threes. When we return from winter break, we will be working on place value to 1,000. For the past couple of months, we have been taking part in a class reading challenge! Students who read and pass the test for 20 books or more with an 80% passing rate by December 13th, will be rewarded with a reading challenge party on Thursday, December 19th! These students have worked really hard and I can't wait to see how many students we have join the fun. There are still two more weeks to read and take tests on books. Keep up the good work! <3 Mrs. Patel
