Updates for the Week of February 11, 2013


Good morning!  Here’s a look at this week:

Math à  The kids have been working with fractions.  This is a big part of the math curriculum, but when finished, the kids will be able to add and subtract them as well as find equivalent fractions convert fractions to decimals and percents.  The kids are becoming solid with their multiplication/division facts, and this really helps out with that!
                  
Reading à  This week our focus is on coral reefs.  We will be comparing and contrasting different types of coral (compare and contrast is a BIG Student Learning Expectation (SLE).  We are also writing a prompt about what we’ve learned about magnetism so far.

Science à  We have been working with electricity the past week.  The kids will be presented with different tasks, such as lighting a bulb with one wire and implementing a switch into their circuits.

Social Studies à  The class has been exploring the rough tenement housing in the early 1900s.  This week, they will have a chance to design and create a model of a tenement home.  Much thanks goes to Mrs. Hubler for helping us during the class’s art time.
