Mrs. Boyer's Math Awesomeness!
This six weeks we have worked on Graph and Data Relationships, Finance Literacy, and STAAR Review. Students took their Math STAAR Test on March 29, but the year isn’t over yet! We want them all to arrive in 6th Grade next year with all their 5th Grade skills not only mastered, but totally awesome!
Math joke:
Why did the boy eat his math homework? Because the teacher told him it was a piece of cake. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Miss Miller's Reading Nook
In the month of April we find ourselves moving into the literary world of William Shakespeare! After writing mini biographies of Shakespeare, we will begin to read the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Students will take on various character roles for different scenes. We will examine character motives, cause and effects, and summarizing. Students will also be writing character poems. This unit is a “brave new world, that has such people in’t” The Tempest, Shakespeare)! Join us as we explore one of the greatest playwrights!
