It's been six weeks already! I can hardly believe it. We've had lots of fun together so far, and I'm so excited for the rest of the year!
This week, we finished learning about algebra, equations, expressions, and variables. We took a test on Friday and will begin learning how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals. Say goodbye to using "remainders" in division!
In science we learned about heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. We learned that hot air and liquids rise, and that heat transfer always goes from the hotter object to the cooler object. This week we will finish up heat, review light and sound, and then take a test to finish up our science unit. Next week Ms. Lewis will begin teaching our class about microorganisms.
In Social Studies we began learning about ancient Egypt, its dependence on the Nile, and its class system.
Finally, in literacy, we've been working on our personal narratives. We've also been learning how to monitor for meaning while reading.
Upcoming Events:
--Red Ribbon Week
--Parent Conferences (parents, you may call the school to schedule an appointment)
