Week of 3/11-3/15
Spring Break
This week in math, we will finish our work with Module 5. The test is on Tuesday. For the remainder of the week we will work on an end of unit performance task, Fly Our Fractions Kite. Students will use different colors on a grid of 56 squares. After coloring the squares students will figure out the fraction of each color used. Students will be asked to simplify fractions where possible. When we return from Spring Break we will begin our work with decimals.
During spring break have your child notice when they use math. When we return we will make a chart, Math Never Takes a Break; How We Used Math During Spring Break. This will help reinforce real world connections between what we learn at school and everyday life.
This week in science, we will begin looking at the different types of rocks. Students have been assigned two Brain Pop movies, Types of Rocks and The Rock Cycle. The assignment is under the title Rocks Assignment under the Assignment tabs.
This week in social studies, we will study the history of St. Augustine. During our field trip we will take a guided trolley tour of the city of St. Augustine. On the tour we will see the Spanish and British influences on the cities architecture. We will visit Lincolnville, another historic section of the city. Lincolnville is designated a historic place because of its connection to the Civil Rights movement. We will also learn about Henry Flagler. He is responsible for helping to make the city and the state of Florida a tourist destination. After the trolley tour we will take a tour of the fort, Castillo de San Marcos. We will eat lunch at the Visitor Center after touring the fort. After lunch students will work in groups to complete an activity about the fort.
