Week at a Glance 2/24

Math-We have started a new unit on quadrilaterals.  Students are sorting and classifying shapes based on whether they have parallel lines, right angles, and equal sides.  Later in the week, we will review perimeter.

Science- We are working on our sun and stars unit.  Check out the link to the video below.  It is a quick representation of the size of the moon, Earth, other planets, the sun, and other major stars in the sky.  We will learn the reason behind the naming of constellations.  Students will create and name their own constellation.

Week at a Glance 2/10 and 2/17

Math-We will start a new unit on graphing and data.  Students will learn how to create scaled bar graphs when given data.  They will also answer questions to interpret the data.

Science- We are continuing to discuss energy, with a focus on light energy and radiant energy. Students are learning that light reflects, refracts, or absorbs.  We will use mirrors, lasers, and gummy bears in class to show examples of each.
