What another awesome week at the Q. I feel so privileged to have such a wonderful class.
This week in room 231 we explored the following concepts. Ask your child some questions about these concepts and I'm sure that can tell you wonderful things.
Math- reviewed how to convert improper fractions and mixed numbers, discussed how to create equivalent fractions using multiplication and division, look at what it means to simplify a fraction using repetitive division and the GCF, introduced how to compare and order fractions.
Science- we talked about stars their composition, and life cycles. We discussed our sun and it's composition and we worked on our planet guides. Planet Guides are due on Monday Feb 14.
Gym- we learned a few new games: fresher, paper/rock/scissors tag, 4 corners
LA- we finished our last lesson on the comma, we practiced our Daily 5 and completed our novel study on "How To Steal A Dog." Please have your character trading cards completed for Monday Feb 14.
Have a great weekend and a happy Valentines Day!
