This week in Mrs. Zimmer's Class!

Today we started a new math unit that will focus on measurement and geometry.  We started to tell and write time in hours and half-hours on an analog digital clock, and that will be our focus for the rest of the week.

In Science, we are starting to learn about energy! We will learn about different kinds of energy, and  about light and shadows.  We will discuss different ways people use energy ad how things around us also use energy.
Our new vocabulary words are:
Heat
Energy
Shadow
Fuel
Electricity
Battery

In Health, we will continue to learn about what it means to have a healthy lifestyle.

Report cards were sent home today! J Please be sure to send back the envelopes with a parent signature before the end of the week!

This will be a quick week!  We are taking our Math test tomorrow 4/11, and our Science test on Thursday 4/13!  We will have Math centers the rest of the week, and we will review for the Science test on Wednesday.  Our classes are excited to have Mrs. Clarke come in on Thursday to talk about Autism Awareness Month! Students are encouraged to wear a blue shirt with uniform pants to show their support!

I hope everyone enjoys this short week and has a wonderful Spring Break! :)

This week in Mrs. Zimmer’s Class!

In Math, we will be finishing up our unit 6 lessons about comparisons and data.  We will continue using comparison bars to help us interpret data and solve problems. We will have math centers on Thursday and Friday of this week.  Next week we will have a review of the entire chapter and the test (most likely on Tuesday)!

In Science, we are learning about magnets and completing a magnet project in class. We are focusing on using our vocabulary words repel and attract in our writing, and understanding North and South poles on a magnet.  Towards the end of this week and into next week, we will learn about sounds!


In Health, we are going to start talking about a healthy lifestyle and healthy ways of eating, and we will complete an interactive notebook activity.
