Division 7 has had another busy week. This week in our body unit we learned about the small and large intestine and the kidneys. Ask your child about the experiments that we did for these. They were amazed to learn how long the small intestine is but were a little grossed out with how it mashes the food :( We will be doing a presentation at the next assembly singing all these body songs sharing all that they have learned about the human body.
In Math we are also learning more about multiplication and division. If you are wanting to help your child to understand these better, this is the way we are breaking it down...
# of groups X # of things in each group = total number
eg) I have 2 groups of 6 2x6=12 or 6 groups of 2 6x2=12
and total number divide by # of groups = # in each group
eg) 12 cookies divided by 2 people equals 6 - each person
(This way we are all explaining it the same way)
This weeks scientists were Angelina, Luca, Carson, Gianna and Gavin. All the students are doing a great job. This is not only a great way to learn about different science concepts but also an opportunity to practice their public speaking skills. Thank you for helping your child prepare.
Fidget spinners have definitely become very popular! They can come to school but they are only to be used at specific times (we have discovered they are a great toy but not really a fidget that helps us focus and calms our body and brains).
We have a special presentation in early June and are in the process of planning our year end field trip. I will be sending out more information about this very soon.
Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! Relax and enjoy!
