Magnetic and Static Electric Forces


We are making good progress with our measurement unit. Today we worked on finding elapsed time. Students chose 5 activities that they could do at an amusement park. They stated the start and end time, elapsed time, and traveling time between activities before beginning practice questions to show their understanding.

In arithmetic, students wrote a quiz. There is no arithmetic homework assigned for today.

In language, we completed our unit on how to use encyclopaedias. We also did review work on correcting run-together sentences, kinds of sentences, and conventions, Students will be writing a language test on Monday, Dec. 9. Language books are coming home with those who would like to review over the weekend. Students wrote their list 16 spelling test today. Tests are coming home today.

In our inquiry into forces unit, we learned about magnetic and electrostatic forces that push and pull. Ask your child to describe the fun activities we did in class to investigate these forces. Students completed a review sheet to prepare for Tuesday's test on forces.
