Wonderful Wednesday!

We have been busy learners this week!

On Monday we reviewed all Unit 6 math concepts.  Students took the end of unit assessment yesterday.  Today we will be starting Unit 7.  The main theme of Unit 7 is geometry.  We will begin today by discussing attributes of shapes.  Some of the attributes we will discuss include:  shape, size, color and thickness.

During science we have been continuing solid experiments.  On Monday students tested the solids to see if they would sink or float.  Yesterday students tested the solids to see if they were magnetic.  Students have been doing a great job using materials appropriately and recording their findings.  Students are given time after each experiment to reflect through writing.  Today students will be given two new solids and asked to conduct experiments to determine their properties!

During writer's workshop students have continued to write their opinion piece about the best pet.  All students will turn in their writing today.  Be sure to ask your child what they think is the 'best pet' and what their reasons are.

Reminders!
