Social Studies
We are finishing our study of the Southeastern region of the
United States. Our quiz will be Friday, March 22nd. The students will be responsible for the information covered on
the blue DOSS sheet and labeling the 12 states accurately in a blank US
map. Please help your child by studying
nightly.
Math
This week we will explore the concept of perimeter. We will focus on measuring the
perimeter of 2-dimensional figures. Perimeter is the measure around the outside edges of a 2-dimensional figure. Students measure length by using U.S.
standard units (inches, feet, yards) and metric units (millimeters,
centimeters, and meters).
We will take a quiz on Thursday, which will assess the concept of
measuring. Please begin to review the yellow measuring packet located in the
yellow math folder and the online ruler game that we linked on our blog. We will also take a math fluency quiz on Friday, which will
cover the multiples of 4 and 8. Students will have 3½ minutes to solve 40
multiplication facts.
Science
This week we are discussing how roots and stems take in,
transport, and store water and nutrients the plant needs to grow. The students will observe that roots grow down, no matter
what direction the seed is pointing. If your child writes an example of a taproot (other than a carrot!) in their planner and turns it
into the crock-pot, they will be rewarded.
