Hello All,
Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a good holiday season and break. We have been busy in the classroom with several activities.
Science: We are learning about the eight planets plus Pluto. We are also researching a space topic that they will present to the class.
Social Studies: The students are studying the states and putting together a power point about a state.
Reading: We are reading the book Rascal and discussing features of the book and writing tools that the author uses. The descriptions in the book are very vibrant so we are talking about adjectives and adverbs.
Math: We are just finishing decimals and problem solving and will be going into lessons about geometry.
Writing: We are writing our own fictional stories. The students are also working on their winter writing prompts and have done winter poems for the display case.
We are continuing to learn things on the computer and work on the smart board. We are using the smart response systems or clickers for quick quizzes.
Congratulations to Holden, Kari, and (alternate) Faith for representing us for the spelling bee. At the end of December, we were able to attend the toy show put on by the 6th graders. The students enjoyed seeing the creations and playing the games.
Reminders:
Music: Recorders are currently needed for class.
Phy.Ed.: Remember to have the students fill in the Movin and Munchin calendar and turn it in.
Congratulations to Brianne for participating in the Math Knowledge Competition and the Lego Activity.
Congratulations to the class for the wonderful job at the Holiday Program. We were very impressed with all the hard work.
Congratulations to the students for reaching their 1st PBIS goal and now half way through to the 2nd goal. Let's keep up the good work.
Have a great week!
Ms. Hagen
