Happy Friday, everyone!!
Science: We learned all about the ocean and its connection to the water cycle this week! Some of the vocabulary words we learned were salinity, hydrosphere, and reservoir. The kiddos have been working in stations and seem to really enjoy the opportunity to do hands on activities!!
Math: Dividends, Divisors, and Quotients... oh my!! This week we learned a variety of strategies for doing long division. Some of those include partial quotients, estimation, the distributive property, etc. We have been focusing in on getting our multiplication facts memorized because they are super helpful when we do division!!
Writing: We began our 2nd unit-- writing research reports. Our reports will be written about events from the American Revolution-- Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, Battle of Lexington and Concord, Battle of Bunker Hill, Paul Revere. We began conducting research this week and the kids are remembering a lot about note taking from last year. I am very excited to see what they come up with when we begin writing our reports next week!
Reading: We finished up our book clubs and celebrated by creating lego scenes using lego visualizer materials and also created movies. It was a great way to wrap up all of their hard work! We are looking forward to beginning our next unit early next week.
Social Studies: We finished our chapter on native american tribes by choosing from a menu of activities for the final project. Some students chose to create a picture and others wrote reports or created a venn diagram.
Please don't forget to send in your child's Field Trip Permission Slip and their Rollerskating Permission Slip ASAP! We are looking forward to these fun activities and want everyone to be able to participate!
It was a busy, busy week but I am so proud of all the hard work our class has put in! Hopefully everyone has a chance to relax and unwind this weekend!
Upcoming Events:
10/13: Cahokia Mounds Field Trip
10/14: Half Day (NO LUNCH)
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holtmann
