February 5-8, 2024

Highlights of the Week:

Spelling: No spelling words this week due to the shortened week-

Reading: Reading and researching the life of Dr. King

Writing: Writing about Dr. King and different civil rights leaders

Math: Continuing Chapter on multiplication and division

Social Studies: Learning about the civil rights movement and learning the songs for the Freedom Tea

Science-  Experiment with energy

Religion- Mass on Tuesday at 8:30; Morning Devotions/ Prayers

Reading: Students will be in small groups reading and extrapolating information about Dr. Martin Luther King this week. We will then come together to put our learned information together and create a collage about Dr. King. This shortened week will lend to gained knowledge of civil rights leaders and put that information into action by writing narratives on their view of peacefulness- and what that looks like.

Writing:

• February journals:
• Creative writing journal
• February prompts
• Simple Solutions Math and Grammar packets and Oral Daily Language packet, led by the students

Social Studies: Continued discussion of the life and legacy of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement-

• This week we’ll introduce the following books:
• Who Was Harriet Tubman? Bu: Yona Zeldis McDonough
• What Was the Civil Rights Movement?   “
• What was the Underground Railroad?   “
• Through discussion, videos, songs, and books we will discuss the Civil Rights Movement and the leaders/ heroes that changed American history.

Math: Continuing Chapter 8 Apply Multiplication and Division-

Mathematical Practices:

• Reason abstractly and quantitatively
• Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
• Model with mathematics
• Use appropriate tools strategically
• Attend to precision
• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

Math Vocabulary: Repeated subtraction, known fact,

Essential Question: How can multiplication and division facts with smaller numbers be applied to larger numbers?

Monday- Lesson 3 Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Students will use different strategies, including arrays and repeated subtraction, to divide 6 and 7

Tuesday- Check my progress (review of lessons 1-3; Lesson 4- Multiply by 8; Students will use different strategies, such as arrays, drawings, and known facts, to multiply by 8

Wednesday- Lesson 5- Multiply by 9- Students will use different strategies, such as properties, known facts, or patterns to multiply by 9.

Thursday- Play multiplication Bingo and Multiplication War with playing cards to find who has the higher product.

Science: How do light and matter interact? Chapter 1; Lesson 3

By the end of this lesson, the student should be able to analyze how light is reflected, refracted, and absorbed and will describe how light forms shadows.

DCI-3-ESS2.D.2

Scientists record patterns of the weather across different times and areas so that they can make predictions about what kind of weather might happen next.

PE-3-ESS2-1

Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season.

How do light and matter interact? This activity provides an opportunity for students to make observations about light and identify examples of light being reflected, refracted, and absorbed.

What happens when light strikes material? This activity provides an opportunity for students to compare and contrast how light and milk reflect, refract, and absorb light.

Religion: Buddy Mass on Tuesday at 8:30

• Time to read and understand the daily devotions from the Sarah Young book
• Dedicate time to people/ pets on our Secret Agents of Kindness prayer list
• (Social Studies) Practice songs for the Freedom Tea and sing our daily religious
