Math - In math this week we will be working on various aspects of place value.  Students will be using standard, expanded, and word form of numbers up to the millions, rounding numbers to the millions, exploring how the value of a digit changes depending on its location in a number.  For example, in the number 342,309 the value of the 3 in the hundred thousands place is 1,000 times greater than the 3 in the hundreds place.

Students may use their math journals on all math quizzes.  They will receive a study guide for any tests since they are not able to use journals.

Science - This week in science we will continue chapter 1.  We will be learning about scientific methods and how to conduct an experiment.

All Science quizzes are open book.  Tests in Science are NOT open book, but students will receive a study guide for review a few days before testing.

Social Studies - We will be learning about Florida's resources this week.  We will also be making a hurricane safety brochure.

All tests and quizzes in Social Studies are open book.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
