MATH
- we continue
to take time this week to look at the different ways of understanding
fractions.
-We have
worked at looking at both improper, proper, and mixed number fractions.
- it is
critical for students to understand the importance between a proper fraction,
which indicates a number that has a value of less than a hole, and the
differences between a mix number which indicates the value of something that
has both a fraction and a whole number associated with it.
SCIENCE
-We
continued to work on our understanding of circuits Area we spent some time this
week looking at whether or not lightbulbs will light up depending upon their
placement near or their connection to batteries.
- in the upcoming week, we will begin
begetting a larger project on parallel and series circuits, as well as some
more work on experimenting with electricity.
- we also be beginning to look at more
in depth at insulators, conductors ,and resistors in our environment.
- students are
reminded day they are asked to complete one collective understanding in science
for the upcoming week. It is due on Friday.
