The end of the nice weeks is Friday. There is a bonus activity that was available to all students in Social Studies. This was assigned over a week ago, but it is optional. Students can create a song or poem about the PA flag, or research one of our state symbols and give and oral report on that in class. This can be a symbol we have learned in class or a new symbol...like the state cookie or state toy! Have fun with this.
Science - We are starting a unit on Magnetism and Electricity. This will be hands-on science where students will be studying and performing experiments using both magnets and electricity. Students will be able to light a light bulb and run a small motor by creating parallel and series circuits. We will be using our science notebooks to record our results. Check out the websites that go with this unit that I posted earlier.
Math - We will be finishing Chapter 3 this week. We will continue to review subtracting with regrouping and subtracting from zeros. A practice test will be sent home this week. Don't forget you can access the math book on-line or students may take home their math book any day. There are wonderful practice problems at the end of each chapter to help review for the test.
Reading - This week we will be reading The Mysterious Giant of Barletta. Spelling words were sent home last Friday due to the shortened week this week. Spelling assignments are due Thursday.
DON'T FORGET... Book orders are due Wednesday.
There is no school Monday.
Planning meeting for the play will be Thursday at 3:30 in large cafeteria.
Send in Vacation to Mars paper, saying if you will be at the meeting and if you are interested in helping or donating items! We truly appreciate any help we can get!
