In Readers' Workshop, students were given time to catch up on their book club books. With all the snow days, we needed a catch up day... Please make sure your child is reading and completing book club assignments. This counts towards their homework grade.
In Read Aloud, we started a new book Out of My Mind, by Sharon M. Draper. Here's the book trailer, if you want to check it out! Out of My Mind Book Trailer
In Math Workshop, students practiced finding area for irregular polygons. They also noticed and applied patterns they saw in "In/ Out Charts" to complete the chart.
In Science, students considered criteria, constraints and forces to draw four different bridge designs. They will eventually consolidate their design with a partner and create a bridge. Hopefully the kids will be able to create and test their bridges by Friday. If you have "Hot Wheels"type cars that roll back and then propel forward and wouldn't mind sending them in with your child, we'd really appreciate it. We'll use them to test our bridges. They will be returned!
Homework:
- Multiplication Facts: Practice 0-5, 10
- Please note that I'm not giving as much math homework in the form of worksheets because the expectation is that students are studying/ memorizing their multiplication facts.
- Opinion essay published (only students who haven't already finished in class)
- Read 20 minutes
Reminders:
- Science: If you have "Hot Wheels"type cars that roll back and then propel forward and wouldn't mind sending them in with your child, we'd really appreciate it. We'll use them to test our bridges. They will be returned!
