Hello! I have attached the documents for this week. Students have graded test papers attached to their newsletter and Dojo report. Please be sure to sign and return Dojo reports by tomorrow. In Science, we are continuing our study of matter. We will discuss changing state, insulators, conductors, and sources of heat this week. We have an exciting exploration planned to help them understand the difference between insulators and sources of heat. Students are required to know 5 different sources: rubbing, burning, electricity, the sun, and living things. It is a common misconception for students to believe that things like blankets, mittens, coats, etc. are sources of heat when in fact they are insulators of the heat our body (living thing) is producing. Our test will be next week. In math, we are working on Math 4 Today #11. Study guides will be distributed tomorrow and are due Thursday. The test will be on Friday, as usual. We are continuing our study of multiplication. Students have enjoyed learning about arrays by “making cookies” and are also excited to learn the skip counting method by practicing our songs. So far, we have learned the 3s, 4s, and 6s. Students have their DREAM homework sheet that is due Friday, and they also have a new assignment that will also be due on Friday. Students will be required to keep a weekly multiplication log of their study time. These are collected on Friday as a homework assignment and will also be recorded as a grade. I have attached the document in the event you need a replacement. Please let me know if you have questions regarding this new assignment. Don’t forget that you can access the multiplication songs (with words) on my website: www.3-burnette.weebly.com or by visiting my YouTube playlist (no words): http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=FLj9wP2OM6iqWYtQ5nC5jiqg As always, I am enjoying watching your children grow and learn each day. They are a constant blessing to me and I look forwarding to seeing them each day. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
