THIS WEEK IN MATH:
Geometry &
Measurement continues this week with a focus on capacity and weight. Your child
will be learning and reviewing:
●
How to determine when to measure
capacity and when to measure weight
●
Mass and weight being different
●
Capacity being the measure of the
amount of liquid a container can hold
●
Mass being the measure of the quantity
of matter in an object
●
Weight being he measure of how heavy
an object is
●
Three dimensional objects can have
attributes of capacity and weight
Please see the new
resources listed below to support your child’s mastery of these skills.

THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE:
In science this week,
we will begin our Unit on Organisms and Ecosystems. We start by planting seeds,
then moving onto discussing and viewing different ecosystems and their
characteristics. Throughout this unit, we will be looking at:
● different soils and their impact on the growth of a
plant
● investigating how plants undergo a series of
orderly changes
● compare soils for their ability to grow plants
● the certain characteristics of an environment that
help organisms survive
● all of an organism’s needs and how they are met by
its habitat
● describing the physical characteristics of an
ecosystem
NASA's Climate Kids - Ecosystems –
Read these 10 interesting things about ecosystems that are found all over the
world! Navigate through the different activities on the plants and animals page
to learn about a slew of other topics!
PBS Kids Plum Landing – Navigate through the different activities on the Plum Landing page of PBS Kids Science
page to play games about different ecosystems! The kids have been shown where
to find this link to PBS Kids on our class blog page and how to find our
embedded Symbaloo.
BrainPOP
Habitats – View the different videos on various
habitats and play games or do activities that correspond with each habitat.
There are habitat scenes, matching games, puzzles, a food chain game, and a
search and spot.
Desert Ecosystem Game – I may or may not be addicted to adding animals
to my ecosystem and trying to keep it in a healthy balance. The game will cycle
through 12 days and show you which plants and animals are still surviving in
their ecosystem, which plants and animals are not doing so well, and which
plants and animals have perished.
More websites and
links can be found on our class blog page on our Symbaloo. This is embedded on
the Technology Station page.
Thank you so much for your dedication to helping your child learn.
