5th grade commencement meeting tonight at 5pm in room 137 (next door to our room)
And the review continues!
I’m VERY happy with how well everyone has retained their knowledge of ecosystems, plants, and animals. We learned a lot from our gardens, and I’m glad the students enjoyed them enough to make some memories.
Tonight students should pick SIX more words from their science journals or science review packet, and write their definitions in their own words in the back of their science journal.
In math we did some quite challenging word problems, and students were tasked with explaining their methods and proving their answers. Many had to go back, think some more, try something else, think again, and re-do their work. The most impressive part of this whole process was the perseverance displayed by the kids. Every single student in the class was able to solve the problems, explain their thinking, and prove their answer.
Tonight students have some more word problems to work on. They should be able to explain how they came up with their answer, AND prove their answer.
They should also do pages 182-183 in their Math coach – it’s more volume stuff.
Tomorrow we have a Drum performance that Mrs. Roach has lined up for us. It should be fun.
Remember to read!
Have a good one,
-Mr. Potter
