Thanks to the parents that filled out our pre-conference survey! We can't tell you enough how much this helps us maximize our time together at conferences!
Six Flags Read To Succeed!
These forms were due Thursday. I only have 3! If your student completed the form and wants to submit for a 6 Flags ticket, please upload to the Schoology assignment by Monday!
Talk to your child about their learning!
Ever ask your child what they did at school and get "NOTHING" as the response? Here are some things you can ask your child about to spark conversations from their learning!
- What are you thinking about using as your thesis for your persuasive essay?
- Read me your script for your Chatter Pix Explorer Project?
- What was your "ONE" high impact word that you chose for your picture frame?
- Next week you're setting a new goal, what are you thinking about doing?
Here's What We're Working On....
Math: Continue working with variables and solving equations using CUBES. (See image below) This wee we looked at comparison bars and "times as many" problems.
Writing: We are looking at how persuasive writers use BIG, debatable ideas to write and engage their audience.
Social Studies: Students have selected their explorer and will be recording their Chatter Pix on Monday! (This is an app on the iPad)
Spelling: Because of the short week, we will continue to work on our same sort next week!
Reading: We're reviewing features of Non-Fiction text and learning about how they help us deepen our understanding!
