This Week in Math, Science and Social Studies...

Math:  We are continuing to work on our unit on addition and subtraction. The mathematicians will continue their work with fact families (1+2=3, 2+1=3, 3-1=2, 3-2=1) and continue to learn new games that will help with mastery of our basic facts.  Please use the links on the blog to help students practice at home.

Science:  Students had the chance to explore 12 different types of rocks last week.  This week the scientist will begin to explore 12 different minerals that can be found in rocks.  Through these explorations students will observe the properties of rocks and minerals.  It will help them identify them and also allow them to sort or group them based on their property.  

Social Studies:  This week students will be focusing on different landforms and bodies of water that are present in Michigan.  The lessons will include such terms as: lake, pond, river, bay, peninsula, mountains, hills, and plains.
