Week of 5-22-17
Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for coming to the student led conferences. The students really shine when they get to share all they have worked hard on. Field day has been changed to Friday, May 26. Our lunch time will change that day to 11:56 to 12:26. Principal's pride it on Monday, May 22 at 8:00 in the cafeteria. Monday, May 29 is a school holiday.
What's happening in the classroom:
Science/social studies:
Our central idea has been: Technology has changed the way we live. This week we learned about how technology has changed recreation. We learned about how toys have changed over time. We have also learned how movies and animation have changed over time. We ended the week with a design challenge to make out playground more accessible. Students created a prototype for a new piece of playground equipment and created the playground in Minecraft.
Next week, we will be working on our summative project where students will take a piece of technology and try to create an improvement for it.
Math:
We have been working on fractions this week. We have learned that fractions must be equal parts of a whole. We have learned about fractions of a whole. We will be learning about fractions of a set and working on multiplication and division next week.
Writing:
We have been working on our reflection for the student led conferences. We have been preparing our portfolios and work samples. Next week, we will be doing some creative writing and how to writing connected to camping. We will also be doing a research project about deer and bears.
Reading:
We have been working on reader's theater and will continue next week. We will also be reading camping stories and creating our own camping story.
Word Work: We are done!!
Secret word: campfire
Important dates:
Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Hansen
