I would like to start by saying Happy Veteran's Day to all of our military members. Thank you so very much for your service!
This week in honor of Veteran's Day we will have a special Flag Raising Ceremony on Thursday morning beginning a 9:00. Students are asked to wear red, white and blue. We will also not have school on Friday.
Please remember to send in $5 cash for our Colonial Kids Festival. The Festival will take place on Thursday November 16th. Thank to Mrs. Stone for volunteering to help facilitate our activity. We are still in need at least one more parent volunteer.
In math this week we will take a test on factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers, multiplication strategies and area and perimeter on Wednesday. Students will bring home their checked study guide on Tuesday. Please have them review their notes. I have also created an assignment in Prodigy to help them review these concepts.
After the test on Wednesday we will move on to division. In our division section we will learn four different strategies; multiplying up, area models, distributive property, and partial quotients. The division algorithm is not introduced until 6th grade.
Beginning next week the i-Ready requirement will be increased from 15 minutes to 30 minutes per week. Please help your child meet this requirement. Students are allowed to begin their new week of technology on Friday afternoons. And they can spread out their minutes throughout the week to meet this requirement. Students just need to fill out their log each time they go on to the computer.
This week in science, students will complete two labs. In the first lab we will learn how to calculate the volume of solids using water. The second lab will teach us about the Law of Conservation of Mass. This law states that the parts of an object will have the same total mass as the whole object. We will complete chapter 4 this week. Students will take the test and turn in the vocabulary on Wednesday November 15th. Students have been working on a choice board project for science it will will due on Friday November 17th.
This week in social studies we will learn about reading and following directions to plot on a map. Students will also learn about the first colonies in Florida. Did you know that France set up Fort Caroline right here in Jacksonville? Fort Caroline is listed as a National Park and is open to visitors. Follow the link https://www.nps.gov/timu/learn/historyculture/foca.htm for more information. We also read about how the Spanish set up a colony in St. Augustine https://www.nps.gov/casa/index.htm
Have a Wonderful week,
Aesha
