Hi Everyone,
Welcome to our first full week of school of the new year. And it will be a busy one. This week is Literacy Week. Students will enjoy several activities revolving around our love of reading. On Monday students enjoyed an ice cream treat and received a book mark. On today we enjoyed partner reading with Mrs. Jordan's first graders. On Wednesday those students that brought in books to donate will get to select some new books during the Book Swap. Thursday will be a D.E.A.R. day. We will Drop Everything And Read in the afternoon. Friday will be our Character Parade. Students are asked to come dressed as a character from a book.
I would like to thank all of the parents that were able to help us by chaperoning for last weeks field trip to the zoo. Everyone had a great day and completed their assignment. Thanks for your help parents!!
This week in math we will continue learning about fractions. Students will learn how to construct and analyze data on a line plot. Students will also learn how to change mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa. We will also continue our work with subtracting and multiplying fractions.
This week in science we will work on our standards for force and motion. Students will learn about Newtons Laws of Motion. We will also learn how speed is determined by distance and time. Chapter 6 is a short chapter. It only has 2 lessons! We will completely cover this chapter this week. The test will on Friday 1/26. Since we are covering this chapter in one week, students will be allowed to use their books and journals during the test. This week we will also flip science and social studies. We will study our social studies lesson on Thursday this week.
This week in social studies we will begin learning about Florida after the American Revolution. We will begin by looking at how life was with Spain once again controlling Florida. Remember that after the Revolution the Treaty of Paris gave Florida back to Spain.
Have a Wonderful week,
Ms. Johnson
