Week of 9/30/2019

Happy Monday Everyone,

     How about that Jaguars game on Sunday!! It was such a roller coaster, but in the end we got the win!! 

     We had a very busy week last week, the Jaguars Spirit Assembly, Early Release, and the sickness that wouldn't end on Friday. We should have a much quieter week this week. 

     We are approaching the end of the quarter. If your child has make up work that they need to complete for a grade. Please they need to complete it by October 14th. Students may arrange to come in before school or stay after school to complete work. They may also come in during any of the following Resources:

     This week in math, we will complete our unit on measurement. We will finish our unit with customary measurement units for length, weight, and volume. Students will once again convert units from larger units to smaller units. Students are responsible for the following:
Students do not have to memorize the conversions, they will be able to use their reference sheet. We glued our reference sheets into our math journals last week. Students will allowed to use their reference sheets on any classroom assignment (tests, quizzes, classwork). Our test will be on this Friday 10/4. Next week we will begin our work with multiplication strategies. 

     This week in science we will continue our work with matter. We will wrap up our work with physical properties. We will then begin discussing The Law of Conservation of Mass. This law states that matter can neither be created or destroyed. The matter will simply change form (physical change or chemical change). This law also states that the mass of an object is equal to the sum of it's parts. If we tear up a 1 gram sheet of paper and then find the mass of each of those pieces the sum of those pieces will still have a mass of 1 gram. 

     Our new laptops in the computer lab do not come with a mouse. If your child needs to have a mouse they are welcomed to bring one from home. They can bring either type, one that uses a usb or one with a cord.
