Week ending January 10, 2020

Happy New Year!!

Welcome back to school. I hope everyone had an enjoyable winter break.

Student progress can be viewed through PowerSchool. If you have not yet done so, be sure to set up an account. Instructions can be found through the links on the following site:

Math: We are currently doing work around the Number unit, focusing specifically on place value and how to read and write numbers in a variety of ways (students should be able to read and write numbers into the billions and the ten thousandths). They will also work around understanding the value of a particular number based on its place value and how to determine if numbers are greater or less than others.

There are many sites online that could support practice at home. Feel free to try the one below:

Place Value - Khan Academy

Science: Students will be wrapping up their look at the properties of air. This week we looked at how air is fluid like water and how the movement of air affects the pressure it exerts. We also looked at how temperature affects air. Use the following page as a helpful review for these topics:
