Hi Everyone!!
This week is going to be packed with some fun science, engaging math and fantastic reading. Our full week or work is sure to get some great ideas and responses from our students.
Here it is:
Reading: We have started looking at The Lightning Thief by Rick Roridan. It tells the story of a boy who discovers more about himself and leads him on a great discovery of friendship, hardship and sticking with what is right no matter what. Check out the link below to get more information on Rick Roridan and his novels.
Math: This week we well be working with Ordered Pair, which students have learned in 3rd grade. I am looking for this to be a pretty easy topic for the kids. We learned our jingle, "Over and Up!" to help with remember our directions. Middle of the week will find us working on graphing with Pictographs, circle graphs, and line graphs. By Friday, we are going to work on double bar graphs...comparing data and information. This will involve a lot of hands on work that the students can be creative with. Below is a graphing site for kids that allows them to create their own graphs from information.
Writing: We will start a menu that gives students selections regarding The Lightning Thief, Math instructions, and Science. All of this will be incorperated into our Writing studies. The menu will allow the students to select different writing parts from Appitizers, Main Course and Desserts. I am looking forward to some great ideas and great collaboration from the students.
Science: Our class is working on creating an electromagnet. This is going to happen on Friday while we continue to learn about magnets and their properties. Later in the week we are going to see how magnets tie into electricity. Science is going to be a great way for the students to have hands-on experience with materials that will help them understand better.
Spelling: Words for this week are: fact, began, clasp, rapid, able, later, space, stranger, grade, display, main, explain, freight, neighbor, weigh, vein, April, ankle
The students have their Spelling practice for the week. This will be collected on Friday for a participation grade. If the assignment is incomplete they will have to finish it the following Monday during their lunch period.
I am looking forward to a great week of learning.
