Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! This week we will have two visits from our Alliance Theater artist, Jessica, as she helps our students work on getting into the role of their chosen American hero (Paul Revere, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Thurgood Marshall, or Cesar Chavez). We will continue researching our heroes in books and on Pebble Go in the Biographies section. In Social Studies, we will get a little more into the Economy by reading "One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference" which is the true story of a young entrepreneur whose business transformed his whole country. Your student will also be exploring economic concepts in Pebble Go in the All About Money section (from What is Money? to Earning Money).
In Science, we are beginning our unit on Rocks, Soils, and Minerals which we will start with our vocabulary terms and continue with hands on investigations in class and STEM lab, as well as delving further through Brain Pop, Pebble Go in the Earth and Space Sciences section, and other websites. In Math 3.1, we will continue our Unit 3 Patterns of Multiplication and Division mainly through focusing on word problems this week. In Math 3.2, we will continue our Unit 6 investigation of Time and Measurement by getting into exploring milligrams and grams and milliliters and liters.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for all of your support!
:) Jenny M-G
