This week we will begin learning about energy and its many forms and uses, as well as learning about Native people of Colorado and how they survived in this environment. We will continue reading "My Side of the Mountain," and learning about place value and mental math strategies. This week will also be the first week that we have a "big" weekly assessment, so expect to see a study guide on Wednesday for the assessment on Thursday!
As a fun project this week, we will write about our experiences at Centennial Village this last week. Enjoy the pictures!
This week's vocabulary:
escort, reap, pucker, renewable energy, non-renewable energy
This week's learning targets:
- I can describe how people have adapted to and changed their surroundings to survive in Colorado
- I can identify and describe a variety of energy forms and their sources.
- I can describe three ways heat transfers
- I can describe how the narrator's point of view influences how events are described
- I can determine a theme using details from the text
Math
- 4th I can use rounding and place value to estimate sums and differences
- 4th I can use properties and strategies to change the structure of a problem to add and subtract using mental math
- 5th I can look for and use the structure of our decimal place value system to solve problems
- 5th I can use round decimals to different places
Things to remember:
-Look at and sign your students planner. This is a great time to ask them about the day's learning target
