Math Assessment
We recently finished our multiplication and division unit in math. Students were assessed on this unit at two different times. I will be sending home the assessment this week for everyone to look at. There is an option to ask for extra practice so feel free to request this if you feel it is appropriate for your child.
MAH - Math Vocabulary
The next quiz for the math vocabulary is this Friday. Thank you so much for your support in helping students study their words. We will continue to add new words every couple of weeks. It is already making a difference during math class, especially with our geometry unit.
Reading At Home
Students are still expected to read at home every night for 20 minutes. Please let me know if your child is struggling with this and I can help!
Students At Work
I thought everyone would appreciate a glimpse into our classroom to see what we have been up to lately.
We have been working on problem solving and modeling the word problem so that we can comprehend it better before solving. Students have been working in pairs, using different colored markers to show that they are both contributing their ideas to the problem.
In reading, we have been learning that reader's often continue to think about a text once they have finished reading it. Here you can see students transferring their thoughts on post-it notes from their book club books into their reader's notebook. They are also reflecting on these ideas and developing new ideas from their initial notes.
During social studies we have been learning about immigration and Ellis Island. Students were placed into teams and asked to take on the perspective of a Russian immigrant traveling to Ellis Island in 1911. In the photo's you can see students collaborating on their projects using Google Docs.
