Great Day Back!

Today was a good day and great to be back in the swing of things. In Math, we continued with our measurement and measured capacity with containers and then we made Gallon Bot Man to help us remember the capacity measurements. We also measured weight with a small kitchen scale so now that we have been introduced to the measurement components for linear, capacity, and weight, we are ready to convert them to larger or smaller units by either multiplying or dividing which we will start tomorrow. In Science, we started our fun worm unit. Today, we started our KWL chart and then observed them under magnifying glasses and then sketched our observations in their worm booklets. Tomorrow we start some fun lab experiments with them along with reading some cool, informational books, and then we will build a worm house to do some more observations of them tunneling, etc. Ask them about one observation they observed and write it in the planner. In Reading, we started Selection 2 of our Ecosystem unit which has fantasy and realistic fiction stories. Fun stories that will review idioms and writing summaries. We finished our section on fur trading/trapping in Montana History so we will take a short break from that before we start up again. We now will go into our final region, the West, in Social Studies. Today, we made our flashcards to study here at school. A study map will be coming home tomorrow for them to practice at home. Test will be in a couple of weeks. Unit 27 spelling list this week. Reminder: Carnival is on Friday from 6-8:00. Remember to send cakes, cupcakes, plates of cookies, etc. with your child that day. Each cake or plate of stuff will entitle them to $50 fake money. Speaking of money, we have at least 3 field trips coming up so they need to make sure they have at least $1500 for them. Have a great night.
