Although it is a short school week, we are making the most of it on Team 5-3. Today was after school help for any student looking for extra support in Math or Science. I typically stay on Mondays (other than staff meetings) from 2:30-3:30. Students need a signed note or agenda to stay. Today's study session focused on the upcoming science test.
Math - We are starting our unit on Multiplication of whole numbers. It is the expectation that all students are secure with multiplication facts to 12. If your child is having difficulty, please have them use Mobymax.com (they have userid/password) on front cover of agenda. Homework is as follows:
Monday - P & R 3.1
Tuesday - P & R 3.2
Wednesday - P & R 3.3
Science - We are reviewing Unit 1 - What is Science. Today, we finished our wholey notes for Lesson 5 and glued into our science notebooks. Tuesday, we will be going into the lab to experience science tools that scientists use in the lab and in the field. On Wednesday, we will be reviewing for our Unit 1 test which is on Thursday, using the Kahoot. com website. In addition, I've created a Quizlet set for students to practice vocabulary, the link can be found here:
