We began the week in science with a fun, interactive activity with Mrs. Swyers' class about shrinking habitats. This was to focus on our PBL project about habitat loss and endangered animals. On Tuesday, we began our weather science unit and have been learning about different tools used by meteorologists, as well as comparing the weather forecasts daily of Round Rock and Lubbock, where Ms. Lampkin is from.
In math, we began our next multiplication unit by discussing the rules for 0s and 1s, and are now learning the 9s multiplication and division facts. This is definitely something you can practice with your kids at home!
In language arts, we are incorporating skills such as writing summaries, determining theme, and analyzing character traits while we continue to read a variety of traditional tales. Students are also busy writing their own tales!
Our social studies unit is still economics, and this week, students have learned about income and different types of jobs. They have also learned about supply and demand, and how that effects the price of goods and services. Please remember, students should be working on their Economics Fair products at home.
A couple of upcoming reminders: Valentine boxes need to be turned in on Tuesday February 13. Our party is at 1:30pm on Wednesday February 14, and students need to bring a Valentine for every student in the class, if they plan to participate in the exchange. Also, there is no school for studedents on Monday February 19 or Tuesday February 20, so make sure you have made arrangements.
Have a great weekend!
