Homework Reminder

 

Homework each week consists of reading 20+ minutes at home (this can be a library book, magazine, newspaper, online book, etc) and practicing multiplication and division facts 1 through 12. Mastering multiplication and division facts is vital to our learning this year.

What we are learning this week:

Math:  This week students will continue the section of our unit on measurement conversion.  Students will do the following:

  • Learn the relationships between ounces and pounds, and hours, minutes, and seconds. As they solve problems and use multiplication to perform conversion, they will develop a sense of the relative size of the unit.

You can view some materials to help you support our child's learning in Unit 5 by CLICKING HERE.

ELA: We will finish our study of theme by exploring Aesop’s fables. The theme in a story is its underlying message, or 'big idea.'

Writing:  We will complete our persuasive essay.  We will begin work on the study of Greek and Latin roots.

Science:  This week, we will complete our unit titled Energizing Everything.  We will study wind, water, and solar energy.  Then students will design a Rube Goldberg machine as our culminating activity.

P2: We will study the character trait of humor.  Humor is defined as “you like to laugh and bring smiles to other people”.
