Math
This week we are on track to complete Module 3; focused on adding/subtracting fractions, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and trying out different strategies to solve multi-step problems. On Monday we will be taking a quiz, and Tuesday-Thursday we will be preparing for our End-of-Module Assessment on Friday. If you are interested, the homework tutorials for this week are here for your viewing pleasure:
- Tuesday - Lesson 14: Strategize to solve multi-term problems
- Wednesday - Lesson 15: Solve multi-step word problems
- Thursday - Lesson 16: Explore whole to part relationships
In addition, we'll be making SLIME on Friday by using our knowledge of fractions. The recipes will be written completely in multi-step problems involving fractions. In order to make the slime correctly, students must solve the problems correctly!
Science
Along with the slime activity, we will continue our Mystery Science unit: Spaceship Earth. This week we will focus on how the sun and the Earth's movement affect the seasons. If you didn't get a chance to see the videos from last week's mystery, make sure to check them out on Twitter!
English/Language Arts
Our focus this week (and possibly the week after break) is to compare nonfiction texts that are written in different perspectives. We are reading and analyzing three texts written about the eruption on Mount Vesuvius, including a first-hand account! Our vocabulary and writing will align with these texts as well.
Have a wonderful and restful break! If you have and questions or concerns, let me know. Make sure to follow us on Twitter and check Class Dojo throughout the week to see what's going on in Room 32 on a daily basis!
