4th Grade Math---We are still reviewing and the kids have been soooooo good! We are trying to do a variety of activities and, for some of them, it is really helping to fill in some gaps and review information that we learned last semester. Please encourage your children to use the strategies that they know and remind them to take their time. This test is very important and we need to know what each student knows. Please talk with your children and review with them at home.
4th Grade Science---We are discussing learned and inherited traits. We are doing an activity this week that will last several days. The students randomly draw different traits and then they are given certain situations. They have to determine if their traits are beneficial to them or not and they must justify their thinking. They are enjoying it so far and we've had some really good discussions.
5th Grade Science--We are also discussing traits and survival. We will really be hitting review mode for the next couple of weeks leading up to STAAR. Please discuss with your children the importance of focusing and performing their best on the STAAR test.
Thank you for sharing your children with me,
Mrs. Brown 🙂
Matemáticas de 4to grado --- ¡Todavía estamos repasando y los niños han sido tan buenos! Estamos tratando de hacer una variedad de actividades y, para algunas de ellas, es realmente útil llenar algunos vacíos y repasar la información que aprendimos el semestre pasado. Anime a sus hijos a usar las estrategias que conocen y recuérdeles que se tomen su tiempo. Esta prueba es muy importante y necesitamos saber lo que sabe cada estudiante. Por favor hable con sus hijos y repase con ellos en casa. Ciencias de 4to grado---Estamos discutiendo rasgos aprendidos y heredados. Estamos haciendo una actividad esta semana que durará varios días. Los estudiantes dibujan al azar diferentes rasgos y luego se les dan ciertas situaciones. Tienen que determinar si sus rasgos les benefician o no y deben justificar su pensamiento. Lo están disfrutando hasta ahora y hemos tenido muy buenas conversaciones. Ciencias de 5to grado--También estamos discutiendo rasgos y supervivencia. Realmente estaremos en modo de revisión durante las próximas dos semanas antes de STAAR. Hable con sus hijos sobre la importancia de concentrarse y rendir al máximo en la prueba STAAR. Gracias por compartir a tus hijos conmigo, Sra. Brown 🙂
