Happy Monday Everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Thank you to everyone that has given to our PTO Fundraiser. This is a very important fundraiser. All money raised will be used to fund the instructor for our STEM lab. If there is any money left, that money will be used to purchase additional science equipment that we can use for hands on activities in classrooms. If you haven't already made a donation please consider giving to this very worthy cause.

This week in math we will then working on module 2. In module 2 we will work on our measurement standards. Students will learn how to convert metric units. Students do not have to memorize conversions. They will be given a reference sheet to use. They can use their reference sheet on all assignments, including classwork, homework, quizzes and tests. We will only convert from larger units to smaller units (5 kilograms = ? grams). Students will also need to be able to decide which units would be the best to measure specific items (What unit would you use to measure the length of a hallway? centimeters, meters or kilometers?). We will also have to solve word problems using measurements (Scarlett ran 500 meters. Drew ran 5 kilometers. What is the total distance Scarlett and Drew ran?).
This week we will begin on Freckle Math homework. Students have until Friday morning to have this work completed. I will try to have the assignments posted on Friday afternoons. If students can choose to complete the work during the weekend. To get to Freckle, please follow the directions below:
*Find Renaissance Learning on the Blended Learning page.
*Once open click Freckle
*Click my name to enter into the math side
*Click on the backpack to view assignments.
Sometimes students will be assigned a specific standard to work on. For those assignments students will earn two grades; one grade for completing the assignment. The second grade will be the score the student earns on the assignment. Students are required to do their work on a sheet of notebook paper. That paper will turned in to me at the end of the week. The two grades will then be averaged together and entered into the grade book. Students are welcome to seek assistance if they need help.
*Fact Practice
*NBT.1.2 Read, Write and Compare Numbers
A sheet of notebook paper is not needed for this week's assignment. Please do not work on the NBT.2.4 activity we are completing that work in class.
This week in science we will continue our work with matter. This week we will learn how to observe properties of matter by using a pan balance. We will also discuss the Law of the Conservation of Matter. This law states that the mass of a whole object is equal to the mass of the same object when broken into pieces.
Monday: Math: Module 2 Lesson 1 Homework
Science: Complete Unit 5 Lesson 2 Digital Lesson- How Are Physical Properties Observed (due Friday)
Tuesday: Math: Module 2 Lesson 2 Homework
Science: Complete Unit 5 Lesson 3 Digital Lesson- What is Conservation of Mass (due Friday)
Wednesday: Math: Freckle Work *Fact Practice and *NBT.1.2 Read, Write and Compare Numbers (due Friday)
Thursday: Math: Module 2 Lesson 4 Homework
Friday: Progress Reports due
Have a fantastic week,
Aesha
