Happy Tuesday Everyone,
We have another short week since we were off on Monday and have a field trip on Friday. We will be going to the zoo on this Friday. Please read the Field Trip section for all of the info.
We will travel to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens this Friday. We are asking students wear their class shirts and comfortable walking shoes. If your child ordered a lunch they won't need to bring a lunch box. If your child did not order a lunch please make sure they bring a bag lunch with a drink. Students may want to bring a snack to school to have when we get back. Students may also bring water bottles, sunglasses, a camera, and a hat or visor. We will be outside all day, so you may also want to apply sun screen before coming to school. What ever they bring they will be responsible for carrying. I suggest a light weight draw string backpack that will hold their items. With your permission students may bring a cell phone as a camera. Students are strictly prohibited from making/receiving calls or text messages. They may not play games or use the phone for anything other than taking pictures. We did not purchase the animal feeding program and we won't be visiting gift shops or concessions, so students will not need money for the field trip.
While at the zoo students will have an assignment to complete that go along with our Life Science standards. The activity will count as a lab activity and go in the gradebook as a quiz grade.

This week in math we will circle back to complete the second half of our measurement standards. Earlier in the year we covered the metric system. Students learned how to convert from larger to smaller metric units for length, mass, and capacity. We will now complete the same for customary units. Please view the reference sheet below to see the specific units that students will be asked to use. Fun fact students do not have to memorize the conversions on the reference sheet. They will receive a copy to use during both sessions of our FSA Math Testing. During this unit we will also cover time conversions, elapsed time and calculating start and stop times.
This week in science, we will begin working on our life science standards. This include both units 10 and 11 in our book. We will start out learning how plants reproduce. Students will learn the reproductive parts of flowers include both male and female parts. Students will also learn the process by which a flowering plant is pollinated and becomes fertilized and ready to make new seeds.
