Week in Review 1/8-1/12

Good afternoon, fourth and fifth grade families!

With homework and a full week behind us, we seem to be back in the swing of lots of learning. Here's a bit of what went on this week:

This Week in Academics:

  • We started learning about science topics to help prepare us for the annual science fair
    • How are demonstrations and experiments different?
    • What are the three diggerent categories of science?
  • We learned two methods of dividing that are more visual than the typical long division algorithm. 
    • t-chart division
    • area model division
  • We continued our Gary Paulsen book, Woodsong. Those dogs are always up to something!
  • We learned how to properly punctuate possessive nouns. (cat's vs. cats')
  • We learned about food waste and some of the ways people, distributors, and restaurants waste food with Ms. C. and Ms. Melissa from Willowbend

Overall, we had a lovely week in the Fisher/ Baker classroom!
