I can't believe there are only two weeks left in the semester! This year has flown by!
We have been working very hard on our math MAP test this week, while still working on 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication and perfect squares.
In reading, we worked on making inferences. For this we use the formula TC+BK=I (text clues+background knowledge=inference). We read one of my favorite stories "Dear Mrs. LaRue." Ask your child about this story, it is silly! Next week in reading, we will be taking the reading MAP test. Make sure your child is getting a good night's sleep and eating a good breakfast.
In social studies, we learned about different battles during the Texas Revolution.
Science has been very explorative this week. For Engineering Expo, we had touched a little bit on circuits. This week the students learned more vocabulary for circuits, while experiment with simple circuits and making them more complicated.
I first put the students in groups and asked each group what they needed to build a circuit with one light bulb.
Here is what I got:
The next day, I challenged them to add a light bulb to their circuit:
Lots of love from Mrs. Amini :)
