August 30th through September 3rd

Well we are off and running.  We just finished our first test on the Scientific Method.  The students did pretty good, and I think they had fun doing the investigation Reaction Time.  Many students aren't finishing home work.  Please make sure that you check agendas for homework assignments.
This Week- we are going to be starting our unit on Culture.  What makes up a culture, what changes culture and societies, and how cultures change over time.  Talk to your child about your family past and present cultures.  What is your heritage, what foods and clothes did your ancestors wear, etc.
Homework for culture- Students will ask parents about grandparents culture and write a story about it.  Also please have students bring in magazines to be cut up for a cultural collage.
Science- This week we are concentrating on observing the world around us.  We will be doing several activities that will have the students organizing objects in different ways.  We will also be learning about Variables within a science investigation.
Homework for Science-
Monday: Students will look at night sky and write everything observed. (Details) 
Tuesday: Students will write the rules to their favorite game so someone else will be able to play the game.
Wednesday: Students will complete an organizational work sheet
Thursday: Students will complete a Simpson's Variable work sheet
Friday: No homework :) 
We will also be beginning Dibbles Assessment, so make sure you bring a book for silent reading.

I hope that everyone had a fantastic weekend and is well rested.
Remember; Nothing happens unless you dream, so dream big!!!!
Always remember to stop and smell the roses too.
Thank you for always caring.
