Hello everyone!
Sorry it has been awhile since I posted last! Our lives at school have been kicked into high gear with reading testing and getting reading groups put together. For the past couple of weeks, our class has been working on: Soc studies: the early colonies in what is now the United States--we did a fun lesson yesterday where students got to design Jamestown in groups. I think they turned out great! Photos to follow. Math: Operations in base ten, and story problems with multiplication and division. We have also been working hard at mastering long-hand multi-digit multiplication. (Students should be completing 1.7-1.11 at home this week from GoMath! if they haven't finished in class.) Reading: Our goals for reading have included determining the characters and setting in a story. The biggest focus, though, is getting students to understand the problem and solutions presented within narratives. Science: Students have been working on magnets in class, which they have loved. This week we're learning about electromagnets and will get to do a fun experiment with them. It's never too late to have a conversation with students about magnetic pulls and forces--we're still learning. ANNOUNCEMENTS: *Tomorrow is the maturation program for all students in 5-6th grades. A paper was sent home with students for you to sign if you did NOT want them to attend. I think this is a really beneficial program with great information for students but it is definitely up to you whether they go or not. All students will attend unless they have a permission slip that says otherwise. *Truman Voices, our school choir, takes place on Monday from 4-4:50. Bring your blue permission slips if you wish to participate! *Math Club is after schools on Tuesday from 4-5. It is so beneficial for students! Bring the green permission slips if your student is able to come. : ) As always please ask if you have any questions! SEP conferences are coming up fast at the end of September. Can't wait to see you all there! -Maddi Radford
