Week of January 11th-15th!!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed our first snow (although we didn’t get much). I love how peaceful the world looks blanketed with snow. I was able to relax and spend a lot of time relaxing with my family this weekend and loved it! Here are some notes about our week:

1. no school on Friday due to teacher PD
2. crazy sock day is Thursday
3. PTA meeting on Wednesday at 6:30

ELA: This week we will continue our mythology unit by looking at some famous Greek characters and identifying words/phrases we use today that come from their names. An example of this is, “Don’t open Pandora’s box.” We will also focus on the -orch sound pattern (scorch, torch, porch) and the re- prefix (which means to bring back): renew, retrieve, recheck, etc. Our spelling test will take place on Thursday this week due to teacher meetings on Friday.

1. Go For the Gold game
2. Sally’s Greek Roots games
3. Greek Word Roots video

Science: This week we will wrap up our activity on energy transfer when a mass is changed and will begin discussing if the speed of an object changes how much energy is transferred.
1. Energy Transfer video/activity
