Happy Monday, everyone! Please remember that there is no school tomorrow due to the Presidential Election. This week's homework can be found on the agenda page below. Remember that you can download an additional copy of the homework sheets by clicking on the agenda photo. This week in Science, we are working on Chapter 2 Lesson 4, which explores electromagnets. Together we will explore transforming and transferring energy to build a motor using a battery, wire, a magnet, paperclips, and a rubber band. I know students will thoroughly enjoy this activity and come away with a deeper understanding of the relationship between electric current and magnetism. We will focus on the following vocabulary words: electromagnet, motor, and generator. In Math, we are working on Math 4 Today #12. We will complete the study guide together in class on Thursday and our test will be on Friday. This week, our standard in focus continues with fractions, but concentrates on equivalent fractions. There are several great video clips that go along with this. Please allow your student to review the videos at home if you wish: https://jr.brainpop.com/math/fractions/equivalentfractions/? http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/fractions/equiv-fractions.htm Dojo reports, graded test papers, and 3rd grade newsletters are being sent home today. Please be sure to sign them and return them when we come back to school on Wednesday. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks so much for your support and for sharing your children with me!
