I hope that everyone had a restful winter break. Since it was so cold we can truly say that we had winter break!! 😊❆We are officially in the 3rd nine weeks. During this quarter we will take two field trips. On January 19th we will go to the Jacksonville Zoo and in March we will go to St. Augustine to tour the fort. Students will also be taking their Writing FSA during this quarter.
Permission slips for the zoo field trip will come home this week. Please carefully read the letter attached to the permission slip. It outlines the costs for the trip. The price for the trip varies. All students will need to pay $5 for the bus. If your child ordered a lunch that will be an additional $5 for a total of $10. If you are planning to chaperone there are additional fees based on if you are ordering a lunch or using a Zoo Membership pass. Please carefully read the letter that comes home. We have included a checklist at the bottom to assist you in figuring out the total cost. All money is due on Wednesday January 17th.
This week in math we will continue to work on our fraction unit. This week we will learn different strategies for comparing fractions with different denominators. Students will also learn how to add and subtract fractions from a whole number.
This week in science we will continue to learn how heat moves. Students will work in a group to complete The Great Ice Cube Challenge. They will design a plan for melting an ice cube the fastest. In their plan students will have to explain how they will melt their ice cube. Students will have to explain if their plan uses convection, conduction, radiation or some combination of all three. We will take our test on chapter 5 next week.
This week in social studies we will learn about the American Revolution. Students can go on to Brain Pop and watch many videos related to the American Revolution topic. We will also learn about timelines. Students should read and be ready to discuss chapter 4 lesson 3 and the skill builder on timelines. The homework for this week is for students to complete the vocabulary for chapter 4. The test for chapter 4 will also be next week.
Have a GREAT Week,
Ms. Johnson
