Greetings from Room 116!

This was a whirlwind week both literally and figuratively:

ELA: In Spelling, we worked on plurals. We also did some PARCC practice and worked on different writing projects.

Math: We learned about perimeter – the measurement around the outside edge (or “rim”) of a geometric shape.

Science/SS: We conducted a condensation experiment by creating a cloud in a jar. We also examined how wind, air pressure, and temperature influence weather. In connection with this, we discussed the impact of weather on the Pilgrims’ Mayflower journey and their first winter in the New World.

Other: In Computers, we continued our partner research for our Extreme Weather unit.

Best wishes to all for a warmer weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Feeney

 

P.S. Remember to read and practice math facts every night!
