Hello!
A short one this week, with no school for students tomorrow.
In math we worked on rounding and addition. Students learned how to round numbers to the nearest thousand, hundred, ten, etc, where 5 6 7 8 9 round up to the next number, and 0 1 2 3 4 round down and stays the same. We then worked on addition, and students remember their strategies well from last year.
In language arts we started our own personal Goosebumps novel study. Some students have already finished the book. We are also still practicing our grammar using mad libs.
In science we finished off our solutions unit with a jeopardy review game and a final test. Students did pretty well, where some showed confusion in certain areas. We also checked out our evaporated salt solution.
In social studies we started our new unit on natural resources. We learned the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources, and learned what imports and exports are. We then went over our project for the unit, a booklet with different types of projects.
Next week we will be learning about subtraction in math, finish off our novel study and have a grammar test in language arts, learn about energy and mining in social studies, and review grade 4 energy in science. Photo day is on Monday, and halloween is Friday. Going to be a busy week.
Have a good weekend, and see you Monday.
