Math - students are wrapping up their work with LCM (least common multiple) and GCF (Greatest common factor). This included work that involved finding both with given numbers and word problems where students needed to be able to identify key vocabulary in order to solve a given problem. Next week we will be working with improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Support/practice can be found through D2L
Science - Students have begun their work on the Sky Science unit. Students watched a video that explored our solar system and looked at what lies beyond it. They have begun work on completing a moon journal to track the phases of the moon over a period of 28 days. Work on this will continue through the break and students are encouraged to take a couple of minutes to try and observe the moon each night and record their information on the journal page.
In class, students have been working on gathering research to learn some of the basic features of the planets of our solar system. This work can be followed up at home by using links found on D2L
Next week we will be looking at sun safety and understanding how orbit and rotation affect the seasons on earth.
