This week in math we will discuss factors, multiples and prime and composite numbers. Students will learn strategies for factoring numbers. Students will also begin to understand the rules of divisibility. These discussions will help students have a smoother transition for when we begin to learn our division strategies next week.
This week students will take their first timed quiz for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Students will also take their first timed division quiz for a grade. Please help your child practice. Students can make or buy flash cards for practice. You can also have your child visit, http://www.hoodamath.com/games/mathtimedtests.html . Students can select multiplication or division and the site has a timer. Students are aiming to complete 50 problems in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Students did an AWESOME job on last weeks, PMA (Progress Monitoring Assessment). The average for all 44 students was 90%!!!
This week in science we will finish our work with magnets and begin to discuss physical and chemical changes in matter. A physical change is a change to the shape, size or state of matter. A physical change does not change the matter to a new substance. A chemical change is a change to matter that results in a new substance being created. Some signs that a chemical change has occurred are:
*a gas forms
*light appears
*heat appears
*there is a change in color
Please make sure that your child has registered for their Brain Pop account. When they register please make sure that they write down their user name and password. Some students are not being responsible and keeping up with their information. Students are not allowed to register for a new account simply because they can not remember their log in information. Some students have as many as 5 accounts. It is recommended that students use their "s" number for their username and their regular computer password for the password. That way it is something that they already know and don't have to remember. I am going to through next week and purge any extra accounts.
Ms. Johnson
