This week....
Math-We assessed unit 5 measurement and will be starting fractions next week! Please have your students use SplashMath on their iPads to practice skills taught in class.
Daily 5-Book clubs! Students are working in their book clubs on "Close Reading"-We're also working on our accuracy and being able to self-correct errors as we read.
ELA-This week we reviewed FACT vs. OPINION. The students participated in centers where they were responsible to collaborate in groups to accomplish various activities related to the topic. (This was great!)
Writing-Students spent the week finishing their research projects for S.S.
Social Studies-Native American Projects! (Presented Thursday)
Next week we're starting to talk about our Demonstration Speeches. These are REALLY fun, and the students are given the freedom to choose any topic that they want to demonstrate the process to. This can be a cooking activity, sport, what ever they choose. Stay tuned for more info. coming Monday! -- Please be prepared to help your child with this process!
In Other News....
Please help your child remember to bring a snack every day. Many children are forgetting to bring snacks and our cabinet is quite bare of spare snacks.
ALSO: We're in great need of more sticky notes and pencils! :) If you are able to donate any, we'd appreciate it!
