What We Have Been Learning

Math- This week we are beginning a new math unit. Please read the home link pages we sent with math homework this week. Today we focused on reading thermometers and we talked about Fahrenheit vs. Celsius. We will also learn to measure & compare lengths using our hands feet & arms, we will learn about the inch & foot, and we will learn how to measure lengths of objects in inches.  The math tests will be returned in Monday folders next week.

Theme- We finished learning about animals today. Tomorrow we will begin our last unit on Water. For the rest of the year we will learn about the water cycle, the three states of water: gas, liquid & solid, and we will learn how water creates energy with hydro-electricity. This week we do several investigations to learn about the different properties of water.
