Good Afternoon Parents,

Today in class we ran out of time today to fill out our planners, since we were doing a Mystery Science about magnets! Speaking of Mystery Science, I just uploaded today’s video under our Science Help page. Feel free to watch the video again if your child needs help with science or did not finish their observation sheet.

Here is what we worked on today:

Reading: Synonyms for “said” and point of view of a character using the book “Stellaluna.” We also did Daily 5/Cafe.

Spelling: Buddy Check for Spelling Test

Math: Module 1 Lesson 20: Succeed book pg.81-82 problems 1-3.

Science: What can magnets do? Magnets are Weird w.s. (worked on in class, will be turned in tomorrow). Study for Science test

Social Studies: Natural Resources of Michigan

Special: Media

Reminders: Last day for Boo Grams is tomorrow and book orders are due by Mon. if you are ordering.

Lastly, we will be moving our science test to Monday. That way we have more time to review. Listed below is the updated test schedule. I do apologize for the issues with the timing! I will try to spread out tests in the future. Thank you for being understanding! 

Test Schedule

Friday- Science Review Day

Monday- Science Test/ Math Review Day

Tuesday- Math Test/Social Studies Review Day

Wednesday- Social Studies Test at 9:00 am

Extra Science Fun

This week’s lesson on forces was about the force of magnetism. Your child got to spend time observing and discovering some of the basic properties of magnets!

One fun thing you can do together with your child is to explore this printable chart featuring wonderful household uses for magnets (see link below). This reinforces this week’s learning and also models how engineers or inventors think, something we’re doing more frequently in science class.
