I am sorry for the confusion with the Sway newsletter. I found out today that Sway presentations can only be shared with faculty, staff and students within the DCPS network. So I will continue to update this blog with our weekly newsletters.
I would like to again thank all of the Veterans in our JBE community. A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Elliott (Edward) and Mr. Stuver (Gaia) for presenting to our classes on last Thursday.
This week in math we will take our test for Module 3. The test will cover the following material:
*prime and composite numbers *factors and multiples
*area and perimeter *multiplication strategies
*division strategies *patterns
*balanced equations
The questions will include multi-step problems. Students are allowed to choose the strategies that work best for them when they solve problems. The algorithms for multiplication and division are not allowed in student work. Please see the photos below for examples of the strategies that we discussed in class.
On Thursday we will begin Module 4. In this module we will work on geometry. During this unit we will learn geometric terms like point, line, line segment, and angles. We will also learn about the different types of triangles. Students will also learn how to use a protractor to measure angles. Here are some videos that you and your child can watch.

This week in science we will continue to work on forms of energy. We will focus of sound energy next week.
Our social studies for this week will be a study of what colonial life was like for children. We will have our Colonial Kids Festival on Thursday. If you have not already done so, please send in $5 cash to cover the cost of the activities. We are also still in need of two volunteers to lead the activity that will take place in my classroom.
