Things we have learned this week:
English
Review of Theme 5: There will be a theme 5 test next Thursday
The test will cover the following-
- Phonics "oo" in book, "oo" in school, Schwa: Some words have an "uh" or "uh'r" sound instead of the regular vowel sound. e.g. in the word "reason" the "o" is pronounced "uh", vowel variant "aw" sound which can be spelled "au, augh, al, ough".
Prefixes: pre-, mis-, and in-
Homophones: e.g. whole and hole sound the same but have different spellings and meanings.
- Comprehension including - Cause and Effect: The Effect answers the question "what happened?" and the Cause answers the question "why it happened?"
Sequence: remember to watch out for time order words e.g. next, then, after that.
Grammar including - the verb Be, helping verbs, present, past, and future tense verbs: Usually we had "will" before future tense verbs e.g. will read. Often "ed" is added to the end of a past tense verb e.g. assigned.
Math
We are continuing Chapter 11: Fractions and Decimals. We learned how to compare and order fractions and how to write mixed numbers and improper fractions.
Western Social Studies
We have started Unit 6 which is basically all about Economics.
We started with the definition for Economics, which is "the making, buying, and selling of goods and services". We spent this week looking at goods and services and the students brought in some great pictures - of goods (products)
and services
We also started looking at the making of a product. We read about the model T Ford and Henry Ford.
Science
We spend this week reviewing Unit E and had the test on Friday.
We ended our week by doing a few fun experiements.
First, we looked at the chemical reaction of adding baking soda to vinegar. The resulting gas was enough to partially blow up a balloon.
Second, we watched milk curdle as we added vinegar to it. The milk separated into curds and wey.
Finally, we created a solution in a fun way. We poured milk into a plate. Then added a couple of drops of food color, and finally added one drop of liquid soap. The result was a beautiful mixing of color.
Next week we begin the final unit in our science book which looks at Force, Motion, and Energy.
