I'm typing this week's updates from my cozy couch and hoping you are all safe and snuggly today as well. This week in rooms 28/30 we've been discussing ownership and responsibility in our class. While it seems our refreshment from winter break is wearing off, we've been encouraging our kiddos to show up ready to take on the day with a good attitude, focus, determination, and readiness to "embrace the struggle." We hope you'll discuss the importance of these attitudes with your kids at home too!This Week in Academics:
- After building up a visual understanding of division with the T-Chart method and area model, we learned long division.
- We continued reading Sophia's War
- We completed a class experiment that asked the question: How do obstructive objects affect magnetism?
- We brainstormed topics, questions, and planned our research for the individual experiments our students will be doing for the 30th annual Marshall Science Fair.
- Not bad for a 3 day week!
Non-Academics from the Week:
- 5th graders were fitted for their ski boots
- 5th graders were visited by MEMS and Sinagua Middle School Counselors to register for 6th grade specials classes.
- 5th Graders go skiing this Thursday, January 26.
- There will be no homework next week due to students starting at home science experiments.
- Middle School academy (Alpine, Pre-AP, Puente De Hozho, Mit-E) applications are due on Febrary 6th.
- Turn in teacher recommendation forms before this date, so I can send this form to the middle schools before this date.
- Science Fair Projects due: Monday, February 6th.
