I am excited about another year of teaching and learning. 

In science, I am  looking forward to:

• discovering the interactions of a system from cells to the five kingdoms,
• exploring Ocean Life and various cycles of the Earth, 
• investigating the physical properties and basic structure of matter
• analyzing sound and light waves

SCIENCE

In the world of social studies we will be:

• mapping Virginia
• learning the history of Virginia
• exploring famous Virginians
• finding out all we can about Virginia

SOCIAL STUDIES

We will also dive into the math skills of: 

• expanding our number sense to the place value of the billions and decimals through ten-thousands,
• exponential notation,
• percents and discounts,
• prime, composite numbers, and prime factorizaion,
• equivalent fractions,
• greatest common factor and least common multiple,
• positive and negative numbers,
• continue to add, subtract, multiply, and divide,
• round, estimate,
• collect, plot, and interpret data using probability,
• use a protractor, measure,
• determine perimeter, area, and volume,
• convert celcius to farenheit,
• use coordinate systems,
• construct angles,
• and compare 2D and 3D objects. 

 MATH

In order for sucessful learning, all must be respectful of others.  Class rules and policies are important for success.  Your children will bring home a monthly newsletter explaining what we will be learning, with some activities you can do as a family, some books related to the unit, and a study guide.  Each day your child will copy their homework in their planner.  This will need to be signed and returned daily.  Both will be posted on this site, so check back often.
