Winter Break

     This week in math we will take a brief break from our work on geometry so that we can review before our upcoming PMA test. This time the test will be 2 sessions long. The test will cover Modules 1, 2 and 3. We reviewed students' PMA report from PMA 1 before leaving for Thanksgiving Break. Students should be bringing their report home to share their data with you. When they do please sign the bottom of the report so that I know that you did see the information. The standards tested on PMA 1 will also be included on PMA 2. If you would like your child to practice, they should log in to Freckle. Once logged in, they should click on the Practice button. On the next screen they will see all of the Domains in math. They simply click on the one that they would like to practice. Next scroll through the path until you find the one you want and click it. 

     This week in science, we will continue working on our unit on energy. We will finish up sound with a lab and discuss how we use the kinetic energy of moving wind and water to produce electrical energy. 

     We will begin working on heat energy at the end of the week. Students will learn that heat moves from warmer places/objects to cooler places/objects. Once the temperature is the same the movement of heat stops. Students will learn about conduction, convection and radiation as the main ways heat is transferred. Students will also learn about what makes an object a good conductor or insulator.
