Take a Peek at the Week:






Language/Science: 
Many of you have looked up at the night sky and 
seen the glow of tiny lights speckled across the sky. Most of you know that 
the majority of those lights are stars, but did you know that some of those 
lights are planets and even other galaxies? This week we will study one of my 
favorite subjects, astronomy. We will explore the characteristics of each 
planet in our solar system and learn more about deep space. Along with reading 
nonfiction books about our planets, we will read fiction books to help 
practice inferencing and summarization skills. 












  







 Watch a video on the planet of your 
choice during school hours.




Find out how much you weigh on different 
planets. 





 



Math: 
One of the most difficult aspects 
of math is not the calculation, it is the problem solving that must happen 
before you can calculate your answer. This week we will work on identifying 
math in everyday situations and solving problems using a process. Students 
will be expected to develop a problem-solving plan that my include drawing a 
picture, looking for a pattern, or acting it out.






 






Games: 


Grand 
Slam Level 1 





Grand 
Slam Level 2 











Social 
Studies: 
  We will identify how such 
astronauts as Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride have helped to shape our nation. 
We will also spend some time exploring about what it would be like to visit 
outerspace as an astronaut.
