Week of September 20, 2021

 

Happy Monday Everyone,

     I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We are swimming right through the first nine weeks. I can believe that we are already half way through this grading period! We are just about finished with our STEM-September fundraiser. Thank you to everyone that has already given to this worthy cause. Our students really enjoy going to STEM Resource. If you haven't given yet, the fundraiser will run through next week.

     I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful and thoughtful birthday wishes and gifts. I really appreciate your kindness.

*Lessons 3, 4, 5 Science Quiz

*Module 2 Test

     This week in math we will complete our study of the metric system. Students will take their test on Tuesday. On Wednesday we will begin Module 3. In this unit we will study several concepts. We will learn how to model multiplication problems, area and perimeter, prime and composite numbers, two digit by one digit, two digit by two digit, three by one and four by one multiplication, and how to divide and interpret remainders. It will take us several weeks to complete this unit. One way to support your child through this work is to make sure they are fluent with their basic multiplication facts. From now until the end of the year a great deal of our work will require students to use multiplication. If they are fluent in with their facts, it will allow them to focus on solving the problems that we are working on during this unit.

     Our work this week will focus on constructing models that model basic multiplication problems. 

We will also work on using the area and perimeter formulas to solve problems. Our work will pick up where the third grade standards for area and perimeter stopped. Students will solve many types of problems. Students will solve problems in each of the situations below:

*Find the area when two dimensions are known. 

*Find the perimeter when two dimensions are known. 

*Find the perimeter when one dimension and the area are known. 

*Find the missing dimension when the perimeter and one dimension is known. 

*Facts Practice Week of 9/20

     

     This week in science, we will continue our work in our Matter Unit. We will learn about how matter, specifically water, behaves in each of the three states. Our focus will be on the movement of the molecules and how that movement changes as the state changes. We will also learn about magnets. Students will learn what magnets are and how they work.
