This week is flying by! Do you agree?!
*PLEASE turn in your Conference forms by tomorrow! Even if you do not want to meet, please turn it in so that I will know you received it. I realize a lot of the times are not suitable with your work schedule...but it is hard for me to stay late these days since I have to pick up Harper at the sitter's home by a certain time! We can always do a phone conference if that will work better for you.
*Field Trip Tomorrow:
YES, I told the kids to wear deodorant. :) I'm sorry if that offended you! But, our sweet kiddos are growing up and we will be hiking and getting pretty sweaty tomorrow!! Kids also need to wear tennis shoes (or hiking boots) and can wear a ball cap and sunglasses. If you are packing your child's lunch, please put it in a paper sack or walmart sack and everything must be able to be thrown away. If you are coming with us - great! The buses are supposed to be here by 9:00. It takes about 30 min. to get to Raven Run. Our tour is from 10-12 and then we will eat lunch there for 30 minutes before returning to school at 1:00.
Our schedule was a little bit different today!
We started off the day with our 4H Dollars and Sense program. The kids had a great time learning to budget and buying wants vs. needs!
Next, we had our science lesson. (no reading today due to the other class MAP testing) We talked about how roller coasters are made and how they relate to force and motion. Students built their own roller coasters through a really cool website. The site graded you on safety and fun. It took the kids a while to create a safe roller coaster that was also rated fun! :) Next, students had a hands-on experiment with our rubber roller coasters and marbles. It was great and the kids did wonderful!
After this we had a little Study Hall. My Reading kids had quite a bit of learning to get finished. Most of them chose to use this time wisely and get it finished so they can play on the weekend! Other students got on Study Island and practiced other reading skills or had DEAR time.
Math:
Miss Rickard continued to teach her Algebra unit. They worked on word problems with add, sub, mult., div. Kids still need a lot of help with this.
HW: worksheet with 4 problems, parents please sign
*kids need to show in the morning!!
Writing:
We worked more on our parts of speech jingles to help us remember the parts of speech. These are so creative! Once we get the videos up I will share them with you!
No HW
