In Math, we will begin the unit entitled, Prime Time. This week, we will start with reviewing factors and multiples of numbers, by playing "The Factor Game" and "The Product Game". We will determine when factors should be used, and when multiples are better to use to solve problems. We will continue to complete multiplication timed tests as well and another test will be graded on Friday.
In Science, we will begin with an emphasis on observation. We will discuss the importance of observation for a few lessons, and then start analyzing a scientific problem in a lesson called "The Garden Problem".
In Advisory, we will begin looking at our academic goals for the trimester. We will begin to fill out Learning Plans using the theme of "All About Me" for the first trimester. Students will have to determine a goal for Reading/Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Personal Qualities. With these goals, the students must determine what they will do to meet this goal, and what they will show at the end of the trimester (at their exhibition) to prove that this goal was met. We will discuss Learning Plans and Exhibitions more at the Open House after school today.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please comment (parents and students). Also, don't forget to comment under this posting to let me know you've read the weekly news to get participation points. Have a great week!!!
