There is no school on Friday due to a Teacher's Planning Day. Because of this i-Ready and Math Superstars will be due on Thursday.
This week in math we will be begin learning about multiplication strategies. Our benchmark states that students must be able to multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and
multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the
properties of operations. We will be learning the area model:
partial products
standard multiplication algorithm
This week in science we will learn about the Law of Conservation of Mass. This scientific law states that the parts of an object will have the same total mass as the whole object. We will also learn how to calculate the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms (V=length x width x height= cubic units). We will also learn how to calculate volume using water displacement.
This week in social studies students need to complete their Everytown Press Dispatch newspaper that tells about their presidency. In order to complete this students need to go to http://teacher.scholastic.com/scholasticnews/games_quizzes/electiongame/game.asp
If students have trouble printing their newspaper they can save it to their thumb drive bring it in and I will print it for them. Or they can save it to their home computer and email it to me and I will print it for them.
Students can also visit www.scholastic.com/election for more information about the election presented in a kid friendly format. During our unit we will relay on the scholastic site for content information. Students will also take notes in their journals. This is where we will pull questions for the tests and quizzes that we take.
Have a Wonderful Week,
