This past week, we completed our work with multiplying and dividing decimals in math. We continue to read Underground to Canada, discussing the social justice issues and how our society changes over time. We are still exploring cultural understandings and how democracy works as we explore the events and time of Underground to Canada. In science, we are finalizing our understanding of the properties of air, by exploring air compression. To help students continue to understand the abstract principles of air pressure, please help them discover how many wonderful everyday technological advances work in our everyday lives (taps, water pressure, washing machines, driers, tire pumps, gas pumps, and so forth). This coming week we are moving on to learn about Bernoulli's principle of aerodynamics.

Thank you for all that you do! You are sincerely appreciated!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Easton
