Good morning. Students have Dojo reports and newsletters with graded test papers. Please be sure to sign these and return them tomorrow. In Science, we are now learning about Earth’s features…bodies of water and landforms. Students have “trading cards” of the features they are required to learn about. We will be completing a booklet and identifying photographs this week. Our test will not be until next week. I have attached information in the event you want to begin studying. You can also view the lesson at the following link: https://jr.brainpop.com/science/land/landforms/ I have also created a lesson in Study Island for this material if you wish for your child to work on it at home. The link is www.studyisland.com and their username and password are located in the front of their agenda. The lesson is simply titled “Science”. In math, we are working on measuring items to the nearest inch, ½ inch, and ¼ inch. Students were given a paper ruler today and we actually wrote the correct measurements on the ruler to help them learn the order and how to read them. Please excuse the imperfection of my drawing, but this illustration on the board really seemed to help them understand reading a ruler. Once we have measured our set of items, we are then plotting the data on a line plot. This is a great step-by-step tutorial of creating a line plot: http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/data-analysis/line-plots.htm Line plots can use either “x’s” or “·’s” to represent the data. Sometimes line plots are also referred to as dot plots. We have gone through this process step by step today with a practice sheet like the attached. Please let me know if you or your child have further questions. We will complete Math 4 Today #26 this week with an assessment on Friday. Please be reminded that we have Spring pictures tomorrow. We also have Watershed tomorrow. Students need to send in $1 to attend. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call me!
