Week of January 18, 2016
Dear Parents,
I hope you all enjoyed the extra day of relaxation on Monday. Class pictures will be on February 2 and February 3 will be an early release day. If your child is doing a science fair project, they are due on Monday, January 25. Science fair night will be on Wednesday, January 27 from 6pm to 7pm. Thank you for your continued support at home. Reading nightly is so very important to build reading stamina.
This week in:
Science/social studies:
Last week, we learned about how matter can be changed by heating and cooling. This week, we will be learning about physical changes to matter. Students will learn about how matter can be changed and the purposes for physical changes to matter. Students will also be choosing materials based on their physical properties to build a structure.
Math:
We are finishing up with our three dimensional shapes. We have been learning the names of different three dimensional shapes along with counting vertices, edges and faces. This week we will finish three dimensional shapes and begin looking at area and perimeter.
Reading and writing:
We are continuing with our study of poetry. Students are reading a variety of poems and using visualization to help with comprehension. Students are also writing a variety of poems and publishing them. Very soon you will be receiving an invitation to our Poet Tea. Students will be sharing the poetry they have created.
Word Work:
We are working on the -tion final syllable.
Secret word of the week: pentagon
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Hansen
