| Woodland Intermediate� Home of the Golden Paw Wildcats This weekend, work on team-building skills at home with your child. Give them realistic situations they may encounter with other students and discuss with them how they can use the ABCDE problem solving strategy to resolve the issue. A- ask what the problem is B- brainstorm possible solutions C- choose one D- do it! E- evaluate the results |
| Super Subjects� Language Arts- It has been a busy 2 weeks! We are deep into our genre study. We have discussed Fairytales, folktales, fables, and tall tales, and I think everyone knows the characteristics of each! We even began drafting our stories for our bare books. These stories will be typed presented as a completed book sometime in March. Look for more information on the Author Book Release and Signing Party. Science- Did you know that air has weight? This week we reviewed the Scientific method by observing 3 experiments that taught us the properties of air. Air is very important to the climate and weather on Earth, so it is a good place to begin our Weather Unit. Next week we will look more closely at the factors that impact weather, like air temperature, wind, and air pressure. And a spring springs its wild weather upon us, we will have a first hand look at how weather changes. Math- This week, we finished Chapter 7. Fractions are fun, but it took a lot of practice and hard work to remember how to simplify, find equivalent fractions, change mixed and improper fractions, and find the fraction of a number. Now, we will see hoe fractions and decimals are related as we move into Chapter 8: Decimals. We know that fractions are just division problems, and soon we will see how fractions can be written as decimals. |
| Social Studies- This week we complete our Chapter 6 test in Social Studies. Soon we will be continuing our journey across the regions of the United States. |
