Sem 2 Week 9

Another week has gone by and many new things have been learned.

Things we have learned this week:

English

Story: Chestnut Cove

Prefixes: pre-, mis-, and in-

Homophones: e.g. too, two, and to

Cause and Effect: The Effect answers the question "what happened?" and the Cause answers the question "why it happened?"

Present tense verbs: When the noun is I, You, or a plural then you don't add an "s" to the verb, if the noun is singular then you add an "s", "es", or "ies" to the verb. Verbs ending in ch, ss,z, and sh add an "es" and verbs ending in a consonant and a "y" need to change the "y" to an i and then add "es".

On Monday there will be our usual weekly English test on this week's work.

Math

We finished Chapter 10: Ordered Pairs, Probability, and Prediction.

On Monday there will be a test on Chapter 10

Kwanzaa: A holiday celebrated by African Americans to celebrate their heritage.

Hanukkah: A holiday celebrated by the Jewish people to celebrate their heritage.

Science

Physical Change: This is when matter's shape, size, or state changes but no change occurs in its molecules.

Mixtures can be separated using your hands or a tool such as a funnel, filter, or magnet. Here is a picuture of us separating mixtures of marbles, beans, paper clips, and water.

Solutions sometimes can be separated by evaporation. In this picture we are separating a solution of sugar and water by evaporation. We are most grateful to Mr. Ray for helping us in the science lab and for providing the equipment we needed for this experiment.
