Week 24: Fractions, Mysteries, and Environments

Welcome to Week 24!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Mid-Winter Break!  Here is what we are doing this week:

In math students will be starting their last big unit in fractions.  In particular this week students will be learning the meaning of fractions, seeing the similarities between fractions and division, learning about mixed numbers and improper fractions, learning about equivalent fractions, and comparing and ordering fractions and mixed numbers. 

In reading students will be continuing to learn about the characteristics of mysteries.  In addition, we will be studying about synthesizing and its impact on reading comprehension.

In social studies students will be starting their investigation into Colonial America.

In science students will be competing their environments unit.  Students have created a final investigation of their own.  They have adjusted one variable and will observe how that variable affects the growth of pea, barley, corn, and radish seeds growth. 

That's it for now.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
