Math:
This week we will continue to discuss the relationship between multiplication and division. We will look at several different word problems. Students will have worksheets for math homework on Monday & Tuesday. On Wednesday & Thursday students will need to get on the computer. We have started a new program called i-Ready. Students took a diagnostic test here at school and have been assigned activities based on their achievement.
You can access the website by going to learn.i-ready.com (link is located under math websites to the right on the blog)

Science:
We will wrap up all of our lessons on Matter. We will review Wednesday and Thursday for our test on Matter on Friday. Please study with your child at home. Here is a picture of what we discovered about evaporation when a wet paper towel is placed in different areas of the school. We also looked at a wet paper towel that was stored in a plastic bag in the same situations.
ELA:
As we continue to read Charlotte's Web this week, we will focus on noticing the order of events in the
story. As readers we need to continually think about the events and the sequence in which they happen. Certain events cause other events to happen. Unless we understand how and why things happen in a certain order, we will not comprehend the story. Thinking about the events of a story in order will also help us to summarize.
We will also look closely at characters to see how the author develops characters. We will note specific thoughts, statements, and descriptions which show how they are feeling.
We will work in depth with 4 vocabulary words from Charlotte's Web this week. Please talk about them and use them in conversation at home!
sternly: in a way that is strict or harsh
fascinating: extremely interesting
incessant: continuing for a long time without stopping
miraculous: unexpected, extraordinary, and marvelous
