In science, we began discussing, "What is an ecosystem?" We also began discussing the difference between biotic versus abiotic. Ask your child about this experiment we are going to observe Monday and Tuesday.
Many students struggled with the rounding lessons. The strategy taught was the vertical number line but I will do another small group for students who still need support with rounding. Here is a Parent Handbook on the expectations for those lessons.
Looking ahead:
Math We will begin Topic E on Monday. This topic teaches how to multiply and divide decimals. Please see the Parent Newsletter (go to the Math Newsletter page) for this topic so that you know what to expect.
Science We will dig deeper into understanding Ecosystems. Discuss what your child has been learning through the course of the week.
