We'll see you next week. Enjoy your weekend!

Students of the Week: 11/13/15

Congratulations to Estella and Adriano!! These kids are certainly deserving of the title. Estella is another student who has really been kicking it into high gear and giving it her best in the second quarter. Way to go, kiddo! Adriano has stood out in the set making stages of our movie production. He has been careful to pay attention to detail as well as help others. Way to go, you two!

Students of the Week 11/6

This week we are recognizing Addi and Haylee as our students of the week! Addi helped another student when they dropped their howework folder, and their homework all over the floor. What a considerate kid! Haylee has been working extra hard to be the best student she can be in the second quarter by getting more involved in class discussions and asking more questions. Way to reach towards your goal, Haylee! Congratulations, ladies.

Week in Review 11/2-11/6

Happy Friday, Fisher Baker families!

How about those Taiko playing 5th graders, huh? We're pretty proud of the hard work they've done these last three weeks. Today Mei was able to join our class and teach us a bit about what being a student in China is like. Over twelve hour school days and several hours of homework each night...this was quite the eye opener to us all! Our students sure our lucky... ;) Thanks, Tony, Mei, and David for teaching our kiddos the art of Japanese Taiko and also about Chinese culture. 

This week in academics:

• We learned about Maya, Inca, and Aztec class systems and wrote Haikus about them.
• We created modern and ancient maps of South and Central America.
• We learned how to use area models to make multiplication more efficient.
• We retook a multiplication basics quiz that didn't go so well last week.

Looking Ahead:

• No School Wednesday, November 11th for Veteran's Day
• We will write scripts for our Maya, Inca, Aztec movie

Have a lovely weekend!
