Thank you to everyone that turned in the field trip permission slips and $15 deposit by Friday. We were able to turn our final numbers in to the charter bus company and I know it is going to be a GREAT trip. Please expect the remainder money $15 to be due very soon. A letter will be coming home soon about it.
Science
This week we will continue science class with Ms. Creel. They will be working on a variety of science topics.
Math
This week we will continue our study of the metric system. Students will be working on a variety of activities in the classroom. Please make sure your child spends time at home on IXL. Students will be working on W.1-W.12. We will also revisit the customary system (American). We will test on Friday. Students will have a review sheet for homework each night to complete. Also for homework, I expect students to spend as much time as possible on IXL. We really want to win that pizza party that I told you about last week. Here is the information in case you missed it.
Spring Learning Showdown IXL Competition
I have entered our class into this IXL competition. How many new problems can we as a class work on beginning on March 23-April 24? If our class wins. . . .we will win a PIZZA PARTY! If you do not currently encourage your child to spend time on IXL at home. . .please do so! It will help build their confidence in math and if we win---it will fill our bellies! Students can practice any skill that they notice they should be more confident in. The purpose of IXL is to build math confidence. We want students to be confident when we get ready to take the GA Milestones Test in just a few short weeks from now.
Reading
This week in reading we will begin something new. What was Harriett Tubman's Greatest Achievement? We will be reading several different articles as well as looking at several maps and photographs to help us answer that very question.
