this week we started our
flex math groups. Every
student should have a
sheet with their child's
TEACHERS NAME AND EMAIL
ADDRESS. IF YOU NEED
ANYMORE INFORMATION,
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO
CONTACT YOUR CHILDS MATH
TEACHER OR MYSELF. THE
STUDENTS ARE VERY EXCITED
TO HAVE MATH WITH OTHER
teachers and students.
For math students STARTED
CHAPTER three on addition.
WE HAVE TAKEN OUR ADDITION
TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND
ADDING A NEXT STEP,
ALGEBRA! THIS WEEK WE
BEGAN WITH DISCUSSING THE
COMMUNATATIVE, IDENTITY,
AND ASSOCIATIVE
PROPERTIES. WE ALSO USED
COUNTERS TO HELP US FIND
MISSING ADDENDS IN AN
ADDITION PROBLEM. AT THE
END OF THE WEEK WE ENDED
WITH ESTIMATING SUMS. THE
STUDENTS WORKED VERY HARD
AND ARE EXCITED FOR
STARTING some easyALGEBRA.
Students FINISHED UP "NATE THE GREAT." this
WAS A GREAT MYSTERY STORY THAT THE
STUDENTS ENJOYED READING. WE DISCUSSED
MYSTERY Vocabulary AND students created
their own mystery story using an ipad app
called "puppet pals"
This week we practiced identifying subjects
and a predicates. Each student picked a
silly subject and predicate out of a bag,
wrote it in a sentence, and drew a picture.
Then each student presented their subjects
and predicates to the class. We laughed so
hard; I wouldn't be surprised if the 5th
graders heard us! As a fun assessment
students used a new app on the iPad I
found called "ColAR mix." Students made
their subject and predicate come to life by
this 3d app and had to describe it in a super
sentence.
Science
We finish
ed up our
chapter on food
chains and food
webs this week.
Students worked in
groups creating a
food chain with
producer,
consumer and
decomposers. I'm
impressed how
well they worked
collaboratively
with a group!
Amazing job!
pOSTERS WILL BE
DISPLAYED IN OUR
HALLWAY.
