Science
Our next science will
focus on the Physics of Sound. Students will learn that sound originates from a
source that is vibrating and is detected at a receiver such as the human ear.
Students are encouraged to bring in instruments from home.. By the end of the
unit students will demonstrate how sound can change in pitch and volume. We
will be conducting various experiments and inquiries into sound. Making
instruments are an optional activity that can be done at home as an extension.
Language Arts
In language arts we are
about to begin what is typically our most popular units. We will turn our
attention back to fiction text with an emphasis on understanding character
development. Children will have opportunities to get to know many new
characters and to use important reading strategies to understand text at a much
deeper level. In addition, students will enjoy reading and writing adapted
fairy tales from around the world. As always, we encourage each child to
maintain an active reading practice at home and for families to discuss
literature on a regular basis.
Math
Place Value in Whole
Numbers and Decimals
In this unit, children will
review place value up to 5-digit whole numbers. They will read, write, compare,
and order these numbers before they begin to explore larger numbers. To
understand real-life applications of larger numbers, children will study
population data
