Happy First Day of Spring Everyone, 

     I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break. We are now in the 4th Nine Weeks. In just nine weeks you will have a 5th grader!!

     We will be going on our next field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens on Friday March 31st. For this field trip students will only pay the price of the bus ride. Through a partnership with DCPS students receive free admission to the zoo for field trips. The price for chaperones is $20.95. However if you have a Zoo Membership you can use your membership card at the gate. We are unlimited on chaperones for this trip, but please let either Mrs. Lomblo or myself know if you want to be a chaperone for this trip.

    This week in science, we will continue our study of the moon. This week we will begin learning about moon phases. Students are bringing home a blank calendar. Over the course of the next month students are to record the moon phases. For this project students need to neatly shade in each circle to match the current phase of the moon. Students can use a gray crayon or their pencil. Since the time of the moon rise varies depending on the phase students can copy our classroom moon calendar or use this website, https://stardate.org/nightsky/moon Make sure to set the calendar to March 2023.

Happy Monday Everyone,

   A big THANK YOU to everyone for participating in our Starfish Sprint fundraiser. Our school community crushed our goal of $60,000!!

The students will get to have a catered lunch in the butterfly garden and a walking field trip to Beaches Gymnastics. 

     We will be going on our next field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens on Friday March 31st. For this field trip students will only pay the price of the bus ride. Through a partnership with DCPS students receive free admission to the zoo for field trips. The price for chaperones is $20.95.

We are unlimited on chaperones for this trip, but please let either Mrs. Lomblo or myself know if you want to be a chaperone for this trip. 

     Students will participate in Play Day this Friday. 4th grade will have their turn from 9:45-11:30. Students will need to bring a reusable water bottle. We would like for students to wear their class shirts, comfortable clothing, and tennis shoes. Students may also wear hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. In the past some of the activities have involved water, so students may want to bring an extra shirt and pair of socks to change into after our fun outside.

     This week in math, we will complete our work on unit 13 on data. In this unit students learned examine and evaluate data on tables, lists, line plots and stem-and-leaf plots. Students also learned to determine the median, mode, and range of data sets. Students will take a quiz on unit 13 on this Thursday. 

     

     This week in science, we will complete our study of rotation and revolution of Earth. Students have learned that Earth rotates once on it's axis once every 24 hours. Earth's rotation causes the sun to appear to move across the sky during the day and the stars to appear to move across the night sky. Students have also learned that due to Earth's revolution around the sun we see different constellations at different times of the year. Students will take a quiz on these concepts this week.

Happy Monday Everyone,

    We will celebrate Valentine's Day on tomorrow 2/14 at the end of the school day. I forgot to include a request for cupcakes and drink boxes last week. However if anyone can volunteer to send in one or the other it would be greatly appreciated. 

    We will have two four day weeks in a row!! Students are off on this Friday 2/17, due to a weather day. Students are also off on Monday 2/20, due to President's Day. I will be off on a birthday adventure on Thursday 2/16. Mrs. Cindy King will be subbing for me. If anything comes up please contact Mrs. Lomblo.

Unit 12 Math Test

    This week in math, we will continue working on unit 12. This week we will focus on one-tenth more or less, one hundredth more or less, and adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers with decimals. 

    Please be aware that our standard for adding and subtracting decimals specifically states that students will perform this work with the use of manipulatives and models based on place value. Students will explore addition and subtraction of decimals to the hundredths using manipulatives, visual models, discussions, estimation and drawing. 

 

   This week in science we will begin learning about the classification of rocks. Rocks are classified into three groups; igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks. Rocks are classified based on how they are created. 

Igneous Rocks-Rocks that are created when lava (above ground molten rock) and magma (below ground molten rock) cools to form rock. You can tell the difference between the types based on the size of the mineral crystals. Lava formed igneous rock have small to no crystals because they cool quickly. Magma formed rocks have very large crystals because they cool very slowly.

Sedimentary Rocks-Rocks that are created when the sediment of previously weathered rock is pressed together. Sedimentary rock can usually be identified by the different colored layers in the rock.

Metamorphic Rocks-Rocks that form when Earth's processes change the mineral grain of other rocks. Metamorphic rock can form as a result of high heat, high pressure, or a combination of both.

Happy Monday Everyone,

     I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!! Progress reports for the 3rd quarter will come home on Wednesday 2/8. Please review the grades, sign the form and return it to school as soon as you can. 

     

    We will be traveling to MOSH this Friday. Please have your child wear their JBE shirt. Students will need a bag lunch with a drink. Please pack your child's lunch in a paper, plastic or ziploc bag. We have limited space in the cooler and lunch boxes take up too much space. 

     We are planning to leave school at 9:30. Students will be allowed to have their snack before we leave, so students my want to include a snack with their bag lunch. 

     Thank you to the volunteers that will be helping me chaperone the field trip, Wyatt's Mom, Aly's Dad, Isaac's Mom, Aashi's Mom, and Simon's Mom. If you are a chaperone, you will have to provide your own transportation. You may follow us from school or meet us outside of the museum.

Unit 12 Math Test

    This week in math, we will begin working on unit 12.
In this unit, Decimal Fractions, your child will learn to understand the relationship between fractions over 10 or 100 and decimals, order decimals to the hundredths place, and explore the addition and subtraction of decimals to the hundredths place.

     This week in science, we will continue our study of minerals. Students have learned that rocks and minerals are two different things. Minerals are their own special item and all rocks have at least one mineral in their make up. We have also learned that geologists used different properties to identify minerals. 

   

     For this quarters science extra credit, students can bring in a rock/mineral or a book on rocks and minerals. They must present to the class and their classmates will ask them questions. On Friday of this week we will begin to study about the classification of rocks.

For extra credit in science this quarter, students can bring in a rock/mineral to share with the class. They must present to the class and their classmates will ask them questions.
