We will be finishing up our science unit on heredity and traits this week. Next week we have a guest speaker from Hamilton Solar speaking to the class about solar energy. In math we will be moving to adding and subtracting fractions. For next week, we will only focus on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. After Winter Break we will begin finding common denominators and adding unlike fractions. Feel free to start discussing these concepts with your child. The unlike fractions often cause some difficulties with some students.
We will have a holiday part December 17th at 2:15. A sign up sheet for treats should be posted soon by our door. Feel free to attend if you like.
Many shipments of PE and science equipment have come to our room lately...must be the time of year, holiday season and all. Actually, I'd like to thank all of you who have cashed in your BING points. Here is what our classroom ended up receiving from all of that: hockey sticks, fossil packs, 4 digital scales, 20 dictionaries, 6 soft dodge balls, and safety glasses!
