We had a short, successful week back. The snow on Thursday was a nice little break for our re-entry into 2018!
Here's what we did this short week back....
Math
- Began a fraction unit
- Centers included self guided learning with videos
- Learned that fractions and division have a lot in common
Literacy
- Worked on conclusions for our research report
- We will be creating amazing books from all our research
- Took a grammar diagnostic on www.noredink.com
If your child would like to access this at home, he/she is more than welcome to! It's an interactive way to learn all about grammar in a personalized way!
Science
- We are working on a self guided performance task on Matter
- Students worked solo or in pairs to perform an experiment and take data
- From this, each student will write a conclusion based on the outcome of the experiment
STEMbassadors!
They are coming to work with 5D on Friday 1/26 to do some cool activities! Make sure if your child wants to be a part of the Saturday event, have them bring in their form ASAP!
Anxiety
Judy Eitler will be coming in on Tuesday to work with all of 5D around what anxiety is and strategies to help. She's planned two lessons for the month of January and then will follow up with smaller groups to work on strategies. Please let me know if you'd be interested for your child to attend a small group!
Qurater 2 closes on Friday, January 19. Report cards will go home on Friday, February 2nd.
Enjoy the weekend!
