SS - Our world culture projects are due to be presented on Wednesday, please have everything ready!
Science - We did some pretty neat virtual circuits today, and we learned about how switches control the flow of power (electrons) through the circuits.
If you'd like to play / learn a bit more, click here for the circuit builder. Click "run now" to get started.
Mostly "other" announcements this week:
There will be no cafeteria this week, and breakfast program will be much smaller than usual (granola bars and clementines). Please pack accordingly!
The Christmas concert will be Tuesday, December 18th, with shows at 9 and 1. Please bring a non-perishable food item to donate when you arrive.
Our class is doing a winter mug exchange this Friday. Please send in a mug filled with some treats that could be given to a boy or a girl. Each student who brings in a mug will receive one in return! We'll have a PJ / hot chocolate party on Friday.
The class did a fantastic job at the concert, thanks to those of you who were able to come out!
December 3 - 7
Holy cow, it's December!
Math- We've started a new unit about polygons and angles. Do some review with naming shapes and types of angles: acute (less than 90*), right (90*), obtuse (between 90-180*), straight (180*) and reflex (greater than 180*)
LA - Everyone got their projects in, thanks! We're continuing to work on reading strategies. Have your child talk to you about their reading, and how they manage when they come to a tricky part. Do they try to see the "movie" in their head? Do they ask questions and try to find the answers? Take information with the text and try to make a good guess / inference? Think about what else they know about the topic?
SS - Projects are due on Dec 19th. We'll continue to have class time to work, please make sure your student has whatever they need to make their project.
Science - Electricity use logs due Tuesday. We'll be talking about what we could do to use less energy in our daily lives.
