SOCIAL STUDIES:
Overall, the students did a MUCH
better job on the chapter 4 social
studies test. I saw them looking
back in their book to look up each
question and answer. I am so proud
of their hard work and dedication to
improvement.
On Thursday of this week we will
begin chapter 5. The students will
be taking a pretest on this material
but please join me in encouraging
them that it is NOT for a grade. It is
only to see how much they’ve
learned compared to after we finish
discussing this material.
This week we will begin lesson 1 in
chapter 5 which discusses the
transportation and tourism advances
in Florida after the Civil War.
Volunteers: Calling all parents who think
they may want to join us on a field trip!
You must fill out paper work online unless
you have done it within a three year period.
All volunteers must be finger printed.
Please don’t wait to the last minute to sign
up.
MATHEMATICS
We will take our first assessment
on skills taught in Topic 9 on
Tuesday.
We will continue to add and
subtract fractions and will be
introducing line plots and
multiplying fractions by whole
numbers.
Your child should be bringing
home the Math Journal nightly to
refer to when completing
homework. A large portion of our
instruction will be done through
math journaling and practice in
class. We will only use the Math
text book as a tool when needed.
SCIENCE:
This week we will be continuing with Chapter
3 in Science. The topic is Rocks and Minerals.
Very interesting chapter. We will finish
discussing Lesson 1 and complete Lesson 2.
We are learning about classifying rocks along
with the different properties of minerals.
