This is the last week of the 1st Grading Period. It's hard to believe that we just started school 9 weeks ago. The students are doing tremendously well with all of our rituals and routines. If students have any incomplete grades, I will accept them all the way up to Thursday October 17th. I have to have all of my grades submitted to Ms. Mattingly on Friday October 18th.
Students should have brought home two permission slips last week. One slip is for our required trip the Jacksonville Public Library. We will go on this trip on Thursday 10/17. This field trip is free students just need to return the permission slip. We are planning to leave school at 9:30 and return to school at 11:30. We will eat our lunch as we normally do at 12:00 in the cafeteria. Please have your child wear their class shirt on this day (Johnson-Green/ Billiard-Orange). If your child does not have a class shirt they may either wear a t-shirt the same color or any JBE shirt.
The other permission slip is for a field trip to the Alhambra Theater to see
We are planning to leave school at 9:30 and return to school at 11:30. Again we will eat lunch at our regular time in the cafeteria. For this trip we are asking students to dress for the theater. It doesn't have to be too dressy. We will probably not have time to change clothes when we return.

This week in math we will begin Module 3. In this module we will work on several skills. We will start with area and perimeter. Students will be asked to find the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles. Students will also be asked to find the dimensions of missing sides given limited information. Here are some problems that we worked on today:
If you need a refresher on area and perimeter, please watch the following video:
We will also learn about multiplicative comparison to solve real-world area and perimeter problems. Multiplicative comparison means comparing two things or sets that need multiplication. We worked on the problem below today:
The dimensions of the porch are
4 feet by 12 feet.
The perimeter of the porch is 32 feet.
During the rest of this module we will learn strategies for solving multiplication and division problems. We will learn about factors and multiples. We will end the module with learning about prime and composite numbers.
This week in science we will finish our work on the Law of Conservation of Mass. We will then learn about how water behaves in each state of matter. Our study of the states of matter will focus on how the particles behave in each state.
We will take a test on lessons 1-4 on this Friday.
Have a GREAT Week!!
