Parents,
Poetry - Last week we finished Unit 2. For the next two weeks we will be reading a novel and completing a poetry unit. There will not be a spelling list until we begin Unit 3 after Christmas break.
Slime Shop - On Friday the students brought home some information about Slime Shop. Their application and investment "contract" are due this Thursday. Due to scheduling, we will be making our slime before Thursday. Mr. Dressel's homeroom will be making slime on Tuesday, and Mr. Pransky's homeroom on Wednesday. Making slime involves glue and food coloring. I will have the students wear their art shirts, but I recommend that they not wear their best clothing on the day that they make slime:)
Math - We are working on multiplication of greater numbers ( 4 x 1 digit and 2 x 2 digit numbers). The students are off to a great start!
Science - We are learning about plant and animal adaptations. Vocabulary and topics we'll learn in this unit includes: camouflage, mimicry, inherited traits, instincts, learned behaviors, stimulus, and advantages.
