Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great Labor Day holiday this past weekend. Below, you will find a video of pictures from the completion of our science tool unit last week. These guys are definitely experts now!
This week we will be focusing on science process skills: observing, measuring, classifying, inferring, predicting, and communicating. We will practice these skills within a scientific investigation about banana freshness. Today we watched Sid the Science Kid episode as seen below. Our driving question for this week is "How can we keep our bananas fresh?". We will follow the steps of the scientific method and document in our science journals as we learn about the process skills.
In math, we will be working on addition and subtraction with regrouping. There are some great tutorials for these skills on Brain Pop, Jr. Links provided:

We will have an assessment on both this Friday. Dojo reports and graded test papers will be sent home today. Please remember to sign these and return them tomorrow. Also - please do not forget about our fact practice log. This is the ONLY homework assignment from me, and I only check it on Friday. If students do not have 3 signatures, they lose their recess on Friday and receive a homework strike. Those students with less than 3 homework strikes at the end of the nine weeks will be rewarded with a Homework Celebration. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. I am thoroughly enjoying teaching each of these children and walk away blessed each day! Thanks for sharing them with me! Homework pages, Newsletter, and M4T Study sheet below:
