I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Here is a look at what’s happening in our class this week…
Library: Books that have been checked out are due back every Monday morning.
Homework: Reading comprehension and chapter summaries on Google Classroom. Reading 25 minutes daily Mon. – Thurs.
STEM: Our STEM project this month is about the connection between monarch butterflies and milkweed. Monarch caterpillars ONLY eat milkweed. In fact, the monarch butterfly is also known as the “milkweed butterfly.” The milkweed plant provides all the nourishment the monarch needs to transform the Monarch caterpillar into the adult butterfly. This Friday we will be planting our milkweed in egg cartons. We received plenty of them. Thank you!
Music: Nearly everyone enjoys music, whether by listening to it, singing, or playing an instrument,. There are many benefits to music education, including creative thinking, engagement, improved academic scores, coordination, and emotional development. On Monday we will begin playing the recorder. We will continue practicing tis wind instrument throughout December and January.
Math: We will continue to work on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, as well as solving word problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions. Practice at home with Front Row, Prodigy, or Reflex. As always, math tutoring is available on Thursday, after school, from 3:00p.m. – 3:30p.m..
Science: We will continue our unit on electricity.
