Happy first 2 hour delay!
Wow, I cannot believe the snow amounts we got over last night! I wonder what the rest of our fall/winter will be like!
The students have been working really hard this week. Here's a glimpse into what they've been working on...
Literacy
- Writing different kinds of poems based on their narrative (Lyrical, Free Verse, Ballad)
- Practiced their poem on SeeSaw to see where to improve
- Practiced with partners as well
- Book clubs started up again
- Groups did a SeeSaw activity on a character
Math
- Unit 3 began
- Students met with me to discuss where to start in the unit based on their pre-assessment
- Full menu began with students in may different places and going at a pace that works for each individual
Science
- New unit on Matter
- Students have worked in 5D and 5L on many experiments showing the difference between PHYSICAL and CHEMICAL changes
- Students will travel to the other 5th grade classrooms after Thanksgiving break
Choose Love
- Please ask your child about the important lessons we've done this week
- We talked about being courageous and how that can make you a happier and healthier person
- We talked about the brain and how it works when you are feeling anxious or scared
- Kids created personal mantras and their own brave breath stance for a "Choose Love App"
- We have a bulletin board showcasing all this important work!
Read Aloud
- We started a new book called Restart. Ask your child about it! It's hard to put down!
Next week we only have Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is a day off to prep for your holiday! Time to be thankful and grateful!
Choose Love Apps
Enjoy the weekend!
