Beginning on January 26th your child will be entering a new unit in both social studies and science. As in the past, your child will have three weeks of either science or social studies followed by three weeks of the other subject.
This unit in science will focus on magnets. We will be learning what attracts and does not attract to magnets, the magnetic poles, the law of magnetic attraction and how magnets can go through material. We will also be learning how to make a floating compass and how to use a compass in a treasure hunt!
During this unit in social studies students will be learning the geography of the Americas. Students will learn key components of maps as well as how to use one. Students will also be familiarized with the geographical attributes of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, South America, the Andes and the southern cone.
We are excited for these new units and look forward to sharing the information with your child!
