Week of February 1, 2021


Happy First Week of February,
     Hard to believe we are now enter into February!! The year is flying by so fast. Thank you to everyone for participating in this years Literacy Week. 

     We will celebrate Valentines Day on Friday February 12th. Students are invited to make a Valentine Box and bring in cards for their classmates. Due to Covid-19 safety protocols, students must bring in their cards and boxes no later than Monday February 8th. The cards and boxes will sit untouched to quarantine for the week. Be on the look out for a class list from each homeroom teacher. I have created a Sign Up Genius for my homeroom for a few needed items.

     This week in math we will complete our work on comparing fractions. On Tuesday we will begin working on adding and subtracting fractions. This will be different from our previous work of adding and subtracting fractions with fractions that had common denominators and were less than one whole. We will begin using whole numbers, mixed numbers and unlike denominators. Students will learn a variety of strategies to master this standard.


*Teacher Assigned Lesson: Identify Angles
*Complete at least 1 lesson from Learning Path
*40 total minutes

     This week in science we will begin learning about minerals. Students iwll learn that minerals are different from rocks. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. Some rocks only contain only one mineral and some rocks contain many different kinds of minerals. Students will also learn the properties geologists use to identify minerals. We will also discuss how minerals are used in our everyday lives. This is a short lesson that we will spend just this one week covering. Students will take a quiz on Friday covering lesson 1 (weathering and erosion) and lesson 2 (minerals).
