Wednesday Sept. 23rd 2015





Hello parents!

Since I gave the study guides (reviews for the exams) late yesterday, we went through them today and completed some exercises to help them better prepare for their exams.  Today they will be going back home with their reviews and they should stay at home to practice and read at home. I encourage you to study together or have them talk about or explain concepts in the reviews. 

Social Studies: We reviewed key words for the new unit including community, leaders, president, flag, government, mayor and countries. We read lesson 2 in the new unit titled: Who are our leaders? 

Science: Further discussed what are engineers and how they use the design process for creating new things and helping communities. We completed an interactive activity on the computer where we did come examples of the design process using a catapult. We also reviewed our study guide for the exam. More science terms will be sent home Friday to add to the review, based on Unit 2. 

Math: Completed our worksheets on tally charts and bar graphs.

Tomorrow I will be sending the last 2 reviews (Phonics and Social Studies) so they can review. I will have the students take home their Health books as well so it can stay at home to review. 

Homework for tonight: Read the science review guide with your parents or with someone who helps you do your homework. Complete Language Arts practice book pages 17, 18 and 20.
