Today's title is brought to you by Sam. Sam was inspired by today's morning activities. We kicked off the day by talking about ecosystems, habitats, communities, populations and niches. Brain pop offered some help and the discussion strong. Later, kids were able to focus on their animal research. Most students are finished taking notes and are in the drafting stage. Don't worry, we won't leave all of the writing until the last minute. Students will come home with edited rough drafts next week. You will be able to add the finished touches and "publish" at home.
We did lots of other stuff today too. We went to the science lab and preyed upon M & Ms. We "expressed decimals in terms of dollar amounts" and felt good about our ability to cut through this fancy talk! We also finished our Holes discussion, finally. Students spent some time organizing their Q3 work, which they will bring home tomorrow. Each child went home with a note today that contains your appointment time.
Tomorrow at home......
- complete all of the work for Go Math lesson 9.5
- complete the reading packet. Please make sure that your writing includes details from the text. You may use a separate sheet of paper. This shouldn't take much more than an hour. Set the timer!
- make sure that you are keeping up with The Wish Giver. We will be discussing the first wish next week, so students should read through page 71 by Monday.
- Enjoy the adaptations videos!
I am looking forward to our trip to the Chicago History Museum on Friday. We will return to school in time for lunch and recess, and I hope that we will get to Gym in the morning. See you all at Parent Teacher Conferences tomorrow!
