Good Afternoon!
   

Science- We had a busy day in science today. We started off with a pre-assessment about sound and did our first science experiment with sound. We discussed how sound is made by vibrations causing sound waves. The kids put a penny and a hex nut in two separate balloons and compared the sounds. The hex nut made a loud engine sound caused by its many edges vibrating the balloon. It can be a fun experiment to try at home!
No Homework


Reading- We had our normal reading time today and continued our unit on literary elements. The kids were put in groups of 5 and will be preforming a readers' theater play! They focused on the setting today and how it can influence a story.Make sure your child is continuing to study for the vocabulary test on Thursday. They are making a crossword puzzle tonight. We finished the class in lit groups.
Homework- Finish crossword (use at least 10 vocab words)
                    Study for test Thursday

Math- We are wrapping up our unit on algebraic thinking and focused on factor pairs today. We did an activity where the kids circled all the factors of a number and practiced factor pairs on the white boards.
No Homework

We had Health in place of Writing today, but will continue our poetry books tomorrow!

Have a great night!
