Dear parents,

Our readers have been working hard in their animal investigation. They used different text structures such as sequential, main idea and supporting details,

cause and effect, compare and contrast, and problem and solution. This unit culminates with their presentations. The students will have the opportunity to present a real-life situation that animals face and propose possible solutions to the problem. We invite you to attend your child’s research project on Friday 31st, from 1:45 to 2:25 pm.

This week, our mathematicians learned the difference between mass and weight. Then, the students used the pan balance scale to estimate, measure, and solve problems about mass. Mathematicians explored containers of different capacities and they solved problems about liquid volume and capacity. Please make sure your child practices telling the time at home. Here is the Interactive Clock.

In science, students will be looking at how food production on large farms is important to us in providing food, but it also destroys the natural habitat for animals that live in the environment around the farms.
