Recordatorios… ¡El final de las 9 semanas es MAÑANA! Tenemos un mes ocupado en marzo... Nos prepararemos fuertemente para STAAR. Asegúrese de que su hijo esté aquí todos los días. Prueba de ortografía el jueves! Los estudiantes deben leer por lo menos 20 minutos cada noche. Las vacaciones de primavera son la semana del 14 al 18 de marzo. ¡Gracias por todo lo que hacen!
4th Grade Math--We are finishing up our unit on Geometry. The kids have learned so much and had a good time! We even made it through Unit Fraction and Angle Measurement. 🙂 We have spent a little time reviewing some of our more difficult concepts, including symmetry. We will be spending a couple of weeks using everything we've learned so far and making connections. It will be a good time of intensive review preparing for the upcoming STAAR.
4th Grade Science--We are digging into the rotation of the Earth and the resulting effects. We will be comparing and contrasting the Sun, Earth, and Moon. So far, the students are loving this unit and I'm getting A LOT of really good questions. 🙂
5th Grade Science--Like 4th grade, we are in the unit on the Solar System. We are currently comparing and contrasting the Sun, Earth, and Moon. We have had a LOT of great conversations. I love how interested they are in this topic. 🙂 We will be moving on to ecosystems. It should also be an interesting unit.
Thank you for sharing your children,
Mrs. Brown 🙂
Matemáticas de 4to Grado--Estamos terminando nuestra unidad de Geometría. ¡Los niños han aprendido mucho y lo han pasado muy bien! Incluso lo logramos a través de la fracción unitaria y la medición de ángulos. 🙂 Hemos dedicado un poco de tiempo a revisar algunos de nuestros conceptos más difíciles, incluida la simetría. Pasaremos un par de semanas usando todo lo que hemos aprendido hasta ahora y haciendo conexiones. Será un buen momento de revisión intensiva preparándose para el próximo STAAR. Ciencias de 4to Grado--Estamos profundizando en la rotación de la Tierra y los efectos resultantes. Estaremos comparando y contrastando el Sol, la Tierra y la Luna. Hasta ahora, a los estudiantes les encanta esta unidad y recibo MUCHAS preguntas realmente buenas. 🙂 Ciencias de 5to Grado--Como en 4to grado, estamos en la unidad del Sistema Solar. Actualmente estamos comparando y contrastando el Sol, la Tierra y la Luna. Hemos tenido MUCHAS conversaciones geniales. Me encanta lo interesados que están en este tema. 🙂 Pasaremos a los ecosistemas. También debería ser una unidad interesante.
Gracias por compartir a tus hijos,
Sra. Brown 🙂
5TH GRADE
Math
-We have finished the Ordered Pairs and Planes. Our next stop is Data Analysis. We will be reading and creating all sorts of graphs. Fun!
-I hope your family has enjoyed the extra reading this week as we celebrated Read Across America.
I know it is not my subject area but reading helps students have a better understanding when working word problems and assessments that contain a lot of reading such as the STAAR. So please have your student READ! READ! READ!
Thank you for all your support.
