This week we are wrapping up Unit 7. We were looking at place value this week using dimes and pennies. Next week we will begin our last unit, Unit 8. We will be learning about time, and measurement in this last unit.
We are finishing up unit 11 in Fundations where we learned about multisyllabic words and the ending -ic. Students will be assessed on this unit Monday and then we will begin Unit 12. In Unit 12 we will learn about the suffix -es.
On Thursday we went and saw "Pilobolus" at the Flynn Theater. A sheet with questions to talk to your children about the show went home in their Friday folders. It was a very interactive show of different kinds of unique dance. Talk to your child about the show. They really enjoyed it. Ask them about the table camera and screen dance. They really loved that one.
In science we finished up our Mechanical Engineering unit. Students designed windmill blades and tested them to see if they would turn. If they didn't they would go back and modify them until they did work and then tested how strong they were by adding washers to the cup to see if the blades would still turn with the wind blowing on them. These windmills went home today. Check out some pictures below.
Have a great weekend,
Nancy
