Update for 3/14

      Dear Parents,

      I will be sending home this review sheet with your students in paper form soon.  It's a great way to review for the Milestones and will earn your kiddo lots of Dojo points if he/she reviews every section and checks it off!

     Thanks so much for your support!

Update for 3/7

Dear Parents,


        Our Magnets test is this Wednesday and textbooks and journals will be coming home tonight.  We will be working on the Chapter 5 Review in class today and I will e-mail you the correct answers as usual later today.  The chapter spans pages 190-219 in the textbook, but your child does not need to read all of it - we have read and done the investigations in class.  He/she can review the sections that may still not be crystal clear and can use the illustrations to reinforce the vocabulary ( magnet, attract, repel, magnetic, electromagnet, generator, and temporary magnet).  Please let me know if you have any questions!


       In math, we are in our last unit - Time and Measurement!  This week's HW is IXL on Time (S.1-S.10).  Thanks in advance for all of your support!
