OPEN HOUSE IS THIS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH!
The students made it through their first 5 day week! Hooray! We are really into the full swing of things and began our social studies, literacy and math curriculum. Here's a glimpse into our week!
Math:
- Took a pre-assessment on grade 4 concepts
- Learned why we pre-assess as well as how to use it
- Looked at levels and understanding in many different ways
- Scored the pre-assessment to see where to begin
- Practiced learning through game choice as well as quick transitions
Literacy:
- Toured the library
- Created personal reading goals
- Created a Digital Writing Binder
- Brainstormed ideas that would make powerful stories from our lives
Social Studies
- Started with a quick mapping unit to discover our own "world"
- Worked in pairs to create a map of Stratham using different features
- Learned about the different types of maps and features
- Used Flocabulary to learn by song
Friday's SHP Team Building Day
Make sure to ask your child about the activities they did with their group as well as what they learned about team building! Also, ask what they did as a whole 5th grade. This day is integral to teaching students real world life skills that will forever help!
Enjoy some pictures from our week!
Love independent, resourceful students! Many figured out the population of Stratham online was not current so wanted to call Town Hall to get a more recent number!
Here are some pictures from Team Building! Please ask your child what they did with their group and how they worked together. I was impressed!!!
Enjoy your kiddos this weekend!
