Hi Everyone,
This is Literacy Week. We will have several fun activities for the students to show how important literacy is in our everyday lives.
Literacy Changes Our World
Monday, 1/25/16: Door Decoration!
Tuesday, 1/26/16: Guest Readers around Our School Community!
Wednesday, 1/27/16 (Early Release): Light up Our World with Reading!
Thursday, 1/28/16: Wacky Word Walk!
* All students and teachers will be asked to dress as a vocabulary word. Each grade level will be responsible for coming up with a list of vocabulary words for students to choose from. Students will need to wear their chosen vocabulary word on either a sentence strip or index card that is visible to the audience. The entire school will participate in a parade around the outside track while parents and school staff cheer them on from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Only resource classes scheduled during this time will be canceled.
Friday, 1/29/16: Door Decoration Awards!
As part of our study of plants and animals we will be going on our field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo on this Friday. Students are asked to wear their class shirts. If your child does not have an official JBE class shirt please have your child wear a light blue shirt. Please also have your child bring a jacket or sweat shirt. The weather right now is projected to be sunny with a high of 64 and low of 41. Students may also bring a camera and sunglasses. We will not be riding the train, carousel, or visiting the gift shop, so students will not need to bring any money.
In math this week students will learn about equivalent fractions Students will learn how to use models, multiplication and division to find equivalent fractions. We will discuss writing fractions in simplest form (you may know as reducing fractions), renaming mixed numbers as improper fractions and changing improper fractions as mixed numbers. Students will also learn how to add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators. Students will have a quiz on these concepts this Thursday.
In science this week we will continue to learn about the parts of flowers. So far we have learned the names for the male and female parts of the flowers and the processes involved in plant reproduction (pollination, fertilization, seed dispersal, germination). We will hopefully have time this week to begin planting some seeds. Students will have quiz on lesson 1 this Thursday.
Have a great week!!
