It Is Wells!
Fifth Grade Wrap-Up
And we're off!!!
This has been a busy week!! The students have completed assessments, and we have begun units in all of the core subjects. We have also managed to have a little fun!!!
"I Have; Who's Next?"
We played a game designed to sharpen the students' listening skills and their ability to follow directions. It was a lot of fun because they were instructed to be silly and do random things. All the time, they were practicing how to pay attention! I left them wanting more. I'm working on one for Halloween.
Shelby and Devin review their instructions
Sasha waits for her turn
Dominic is having a lot of fun!
First writing assignment:
The students created autobiographical poems. This was an exercise in using adjectives and nouns. It was made simple because they followed a template to complete the assignment.
Yikes!!! Two-digit Divisors!!
We jumped in with both feet!! After the students completed the beginning assessment, it was clear that all of them were afraid of the dreaded two-digit divisor. With a little help, they slew that dragon and are ready to move on to other things!!!
Rain; indoor recess
Day one, and it rains. You know what that means; indoor recess. Devin and Spencer enjoy a strategy game.
The week ahead:
Math quiz: Wednesday, Sept 9 - Next week, the math students will have a quiz on what we have covered so far. They will be able to use their math INB. The goal is that the students learn to use their resources.
Grammar quiz: Friday, Sept 11 - We began with a review of the eight parts of speech. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will focus on the different kinds of nouns, and then I will give the students on Friday
Social Studies: Students receive instructions for year-long "As History Unfolds" project on Wednesday, Sept 9.
