Happy Monday Everyone,
I would like to thank everyone that has donated to our STEM September fundraiser. There are two weeks left, so if you are planning to donate you still have time. Every cent is greatly appreciated. The money is used to fund our STEM lab. You can donate by going to https://stem-september.cheddarup.com.
Progress reports were sent home last Thursday. Please review the information, sign the bottom and return the form to school by this Friday 9/23. If you have any questions please send myself and Mrs. Lomblo an email.
Please join us for our JBE STEM Family Night. It will on Thursday, September 29th beginning at 6:00. We will have lots of fun science, technology, engineering and math activities. Students that attend will earn extra credit towards their science and math grades for the first quarter!!
We are collecting paper towel rolls and bottle caps for two of our activities. If you have any at home please send them in. Students that bring in items will earn a ticket for helping out our school community.

This week in math, we will begin working on unit 4 in our math book. In this unit we will study multiplication as a comparison. In this unit, Multiplication as Comparison, your child will
learn how to solve comparison word problems using
addition, division, and multiplication. Your child will also
learn how to write statements and equations to
compare two or more quantities.
What math terms will your child use?
Students will learn two new terms in this unit:
additive
comparison
a comparison of two numbers in which one number is
described as being more than the other number; for
example: 12 is 3 more than 9
multiplicative
comparison
a comparison of two numbers in which one number is
described as a multiple of the other number; for example: 20
is 2 times as many as 10
In this unit students will learn:
Solving a Comparison Word Problem Using Addition
Your child will solve comparison word problems using addition. Your child will learn to use
an addition equation to represent a comparison given in a word problem.
Example
Chan drives 10 miles. Edwin drives 8 more miles than Chan.
How many miles does Edwin drive?
10 + 8 = Edwin’s miles 10 + 8 = 18 Edwin drives 18 miles.
Solving Comparison Problems Using Multiplication
Your child will write multiplicative comparison statements and multiplication equations to
describe comparisons. Your child will learn that a multiplicative comparison statement has
the form:
________ is ________ times as many as ________.
Your child will write division equations to represent multiplicative comparisons. Your child
will learn to draw a bar diagram and write a division equation to solve comparisons.
This week in science we will continue our work with matter. This week we will focus on the Law of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law, simply stated the law says that the mass of the whole is equal to the sum of the masses of each individual piece. We will explore this using pan balances and snap cubes.
Monday: Math: Freckle Facts Practice and NSO.1.3 Compare and Order Numbers
Science: Unit 5 Lesson 3 What is conservation of mass?
Tuesday: Science: Complete pages 243-246 in regular science textbook.
Wednesday: Math: Complete Math Sheet
Thursday: Math: Complete Math Sheet
