Week of December 12-16

Happy Friday 5D families!
Once again, another week has come and gone!  I'm in disbelief that we have one more week before winter break!  These kiddos are still working so very hard.  Let's take a peek into our week.

MARS Groups are still working each and every day.  I wish I could bottle up the conversations they have been having to problem solve the location of their school on Mars, how they plan to get food and water there as well as how they will group students and what the curriculum will look like.  On Monday and Tuesday groups will build and then make a video to showcase their building and explain all the features.   Please make sure to ask your child(ren) all about it!

Students will be bringing home a list of things their group needs in order to start building their school on Mars.  We can supply a lot of things at school so their list will only contain things we do not have here.





Don't forget!  Parents are welcome on Wednesday, December 21st from 1:30-2:30 to drop on by to see all the projects!



Check out the winter wonderland we have going in 5D!  The students have been busy making snowflakes and reading by the virtual fireplace with real crackling sounds!

In literacy, we have been working hard on using text structures to write the body paragraphs of our research report.  We've been blogging a lot this week as well as practicing our spelling words.

In math the students took a division assessment today.  Onto order of operations then fractions!

Reminder that next week we will celebrate the holidays as a class on Thursday from 1:30-2:30.  All are welcome.  The kids will do a book swap, enjoy snacks and end on a Kahoot (most likely student made). 

Let's make it happen! :)
