Hello!
Our last short week of the year, and the weather worked out well for Friday’s Jump rope for heart.
In math we finished off our fraction and decimal unit, first my reviewing the last 6 weeks, then taking a final test. The students showed which area they had some confusion with, but most did pretty well.
In language arts we typed up our poems and made poetry booklets. On Friday we held a poetry Cafe, with snacks and a lot of finger snapping. At first students were apprehensive about sharing, but by the end everyone wanted to share.
We have also been powering through our novel study, and hope to finish it on Monday.
In social studies we started our country slideshow presentation. We will be working on these for the next week.
We also reviewed the rock cycle and took a quiz in science. Most did well, with only a couple of mistakes.
Next week we will finish and type up our novel study synopsis, start reviewing the math concepts we learned this year for a final test, work on our country slideshop, and start a rock inquiry presentation. Should be a good week.
Have a good weekend, and see you Monday
