- Thank you to all who came to parent conferences this week! It was wonderful to sit down and talk about all the incredible work your children are doing. Here's a glimpse into our week...
- We have worked diligently with division. The students no longer write remainders. The remainders are written as either a fraction or decimal. We are almost finished with Unit 2 and will be moving into fractions in Unit 3.
- Reading clubs are continuing with different groups and book choices. The students' enthusiasm around these clubs has truly impressed and inspired me. Some of our book choices for this club were Rules, Freak the Mighty, Wonder, and Frindle.
- We are coming to the conclusion of our narrative unit with one final piece. The students have put together everything they have learned thus far in a STRONG piece of writing. All students will be creating an Animoto to show how powerful writing can be.
- In Social Studies, 5D has been working on colonization from Europe to the Americas. We've just begun the unit.
- In Science, 5D visits Ms. Hodgdon every other day. They have begun to learn about the circulatory and respiratory systems.
- We Mystery Skyped again. This time our classroom skyped with Pennsylvania.
Questions to promote school talk...- What job did you do during the skype?
- How are you doing with division?
- What have you learned about colonization so far? Circulatory and respiratory?
- What book are you reading in book club and who's in your group?
- What's your final narrative about?
Thank you to everyone who sent in tissues and paper towel rolls. It's safe to say our noses will be all set for the remainder of the year!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Enjoy the warm weather!
Shannon
