We hope you had a nice week out there. Here in rooms 28/30, we've been getting used to the homework routine for the year. We ask that you encourage your kiddos to manage their time wisely during their study hall, so that they can complete their homework efficiently so they can go outside and play during their lunch recess! We had much fewer kids making up incomplete work this week, but still a few kids forgetting their agendas, leaving their homework at home, or not finishing the work they started. Let's nip this in the bud and work on those great work habits!
This week in academics:
- We started Magnet Monday! (If your kid's Magnet Monday class needs a permission slip signed, be sure to sing and send that back!)
- We learned that meters, liters, and grams measure length, volume, and mass (although at this level we just say weight).
- We converted different sized measures within the metric system. (Ask your kiddo about "King Henry.")
- We continued reading about Brian's struggle to survive in Hatchet.
- Ms. Gearhart taught us about action, helping, and linking verbs.
- We practiced converting numbers between standard, word, and expanded form.
- We compared choosing an appropriate reading book to choosing between junk food and healthy food.
- We planned and wrote paragraphs after reading an article about making playgrounds accessible to children with different abilities.
Looking Ahead:
- We sent home picture day forms today! Picture day is on Thursday, September 21st.
- NEXT WEEK:
- No school Monday for Labor Day.
- We will still have spelling homework next week, but due to the short week, we will only have 5 words, instead of 10 vocabulary words.
- 5th Graders will have social health on Thursday morning and Friday.
