Last week was a very busy week. We finished up the first 9 weeks of school!
Math - Last week we began our factor unit. We are working on finding factors of a number, common factors between 2 or 3 numbers and greatest common factors between 2 or 3 numbers. We will continue our factor unit this week focusing on identifying prime and composite numbers.
Reading - Last week the students studied a variety of Myths. We are beginning our poetry unit this week. The students will study rhyme scheme, internal and external rhyme, poetic technique, and a variety of poetry, including Acrostics, Limericks, Haiku, Alliteration and Onomatopoeia. The students will be creating their own mini-poetry book in our writing station.
SS - Last week we finished our colony unit and students turned in their colony brochures. They turned out great and are on display outside of our classroom. We are beginning our Road to the Revolution unit this week. The students will have an open book test on Friday.
Science - This week we are continuing our Energy unit. The students will also be participating in center rotations in the science lab. The rotations will focus on sound, electric circuits, light and matter.
