Secret Phrase this week is:

Math:  We will review the module 2 assessment taken last week and begin working in Module 3: Fractions!  We will begin by adding and subtracting fractions.

Science:  We will wrap up our unit on Force and Motion on Monday.  We will then begin our new unit on space beginning with our galaxy.  Students need to know that the Milky Way Galaxy is made up of gas, dust, and many stars.  One of those stars is our Sun. The sun is not the largest star in our solar system, it is actually considered a medium size star.  It just appears so bright to us due to its proximity to Earth.  On Friday, students will have a "virtual field trip" experience during science to visit the Marine Science Center.
