This week in Social Studies... we are taking a closer look at American Colonies and will compare life in three regions: New England Colonies, Middle Colonies, and Southern Colonies. Why was each colony started? How did the geography and natural resources affect how they lived? How did political and social lives evolve in each region?
Wednesday we made billboards to advertise six different colonies. Students came up with slogans and sales gimmicks to encourage new settlers to come to their colony!
This week in Science... we will continue to explore light and how it travels. Last week we learned what light was and how it can act in different environments. When light hits an object it can be absorbed, refracted, or reflected... sometimes a little of all three!! This week we'll explore different wavelengths of light and discover that visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum!
This week in math... we are beginnig our multiplication unit. We will look for patterns in multiplication and use them to solve problems mentally. We will also explore estimating products, as well as some different strategies for solving multiplication products with two or more factors.
