You can feel fall in the air! It is such a beautiful time of year. It is hard to believe the first nine weeks will be over in only 2 weeks!! We are moving right along with our math and science curriculum. You should have seen a Science Fair folder at home and students should have already decided what they are going to do for their project. If there are any questions please make notes in the folder and I will help the best I can :)
Math
We have completed Module 1 on place value, rounding, and the addition and subtraction algorithm. We have moved on to the second Module which covers the metric system. Students have been converting metric units and then using the addition or subtraction algorithm to solve word problems. We will have a test this Tuesday, October 13th. The county has not provided any time in the curriculum guide to remediate this module so students will not have time to study a study guide. I will be sending one home anyway Monday, October 12. Beginning Wednesday, October 14 we will begin Module 3 which will cover multiplication and division. Students will need to know their facts so they should be reviewing them daily for practice at home.
Science
We have moved into chapter 2 on Matter. Students have a new set of vocabulary cards to complete and study. You will also see a new set of chapter review to complete and study coming home later in the week. Please review the timeline in the Science Fair folder for the due dates. Students who turn in their work late will have it returned late. This may make is difficult to complete the journal data collection.
