This week in math we are continuing unit 8 which focuses on fractions. We will be doing some fun projects surrounding fractions. The vocabulary words we are focusing on are numerator and denominator. The most important thing for the students to remember when working with fractions is that we are dividing the shapes or objects into equal groups. Their homework this week will be focusing on this.
In science we will be continuing our look at earth materials. We have been studying the layers of the earth (inner core, core, mantle, and crust) and the rock cycle. Many of the students have been bringing in rocks to show us, I love when they start to notice things we are studying outside of our school and class time! :)
Don't forget about the school auction! Both Jaime and I will be there, so we hope to have a great turn out from our class. You can even bid to come have your child hang out with us at our school movie night! As always have a great week and let me know if you have any questions.
