| Reading Can Take You Places |
Welcome to a full week of school (insert groan here)! At least there are lots of fun things planned in recognition of Literacy Week. Please refer to the list of activities below.
We are once again in need of disinfecting wipes. Students will earn 2 tickets for each container that they bring in for our class. Due to our Covid-19 protocols, students are not allowed to drink directly from the water fountain. We are also in need of small cups to keep in the classroom for students that forget to bring a water bottle. I am looking for the small cups like ones you would have in your bathroom to use after brushing your teeth.

This week in math we will continue our work on fractions. This week we will work on equivalent fractions. Students will have use visual models and multiplication to both prove two fractions are equivalent and to generate equivalent fractions.
Students will have another timed quiz on this Friday. So practice, practice, practice.
On this week's Freckle homework students will complete their usual Fact's Practice. They will also have a new assignment titled Adaptive Practice for Base 10. This is a feature that I have never used before. Most of the students are probably unfamiliar with it too. On Adaptive Practice, instead of everyone getting the same questions, students will get questions based on their understanding of domain. As students progress the difficulty adjusts automatically, so each student is practicing at just the right level. This will allow students to practice at their level.
This week in science we will begin work on Unit 4, Rocks, Minerals and Resources. In unit 1 we will study the processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process that wears down or breaks Earth's surface. This can be caused by water, wind, sand and small particles of rock, and plant and animal activity. Erosion is the process that moves rock, sand, and soil to other places. We will also discuss deposition, which is the process were rock, sand and soil is deposited in a new place.
Students often confuse these concepts so please review these terms at home.
Science: Unit 4 Lesson 1 Digital Lesson
Tuesday: Math: Complete sheet on equivalent fractions
Wednesday: Science: Complete pages 26-29 in pink book.
Thursday: Math: Complete problems from Lesson 11 Homework sheet
Have a wonderful week,
Aesha
