Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the time off. The students have returned back to school and are in the process of reflecting on 2018 as well as setting a goal for 2019. This year we are focusing on a word goal.
During math time we are learning about factors and multiples. This chapter focuses on divisibility rules, common factors and multiples, prime and composite numbers, as well as number patterns. After this chapter we will explore perimeter and area.
In writing, we will begin opinion writing. I cannot wait to hear which side students will take! We are currently reading So You Want to Be President? This week we are focusing on finding main idea and detail of a passage.
During our content time, we are beginning our next science unit. Our focus is to learn about energy, specifically light, heat, electric, and sound energy. The students will be exploring each type of energy through reading and hands-on experiments!
Some upcoming dates: (all dates subject to change!)
CCR Reading Test: January 11th
Factors Test: January 15th
Spelling Test: January 16th
