Writing: We are currently writing to Shelburne residents about why we should keep the watershed healthy. We are using our science notebooks to help us. We are expected to write four paragraphs and include why we should keep it healthy and how we can keep it healthy. We started with an outline and now are on our first draft.
Reading: At the moment Mrs.crowther is teaching us how to write 5th grade reading responses. It is difficult. Yesterday she had us work with a partner and first give ourselves scores of either 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th grade levels. Then we scored our partners by reading their response and justifying why we gave them that certain score. Students did a great job working on this and giving themselves and their partners honest feedback!:)
Math: Right now in math we are doing a baseline assessment and working on doubling and halving. The assessment served as a great reminder for why we need to continue to practice our facts! Very few students could solve 20 multiplication facts in 1 minute!
Science: Right now we are studying ecosystems and the watershed. We are also learning about the food web and the food chain.
Other fun stuff: We also enjoyed a lovely Open House with our Families, walked our food drive donations to the food shelf, and created precepts with Sam Drazin!
Don't forget Hike for Hunger on Saturday!
Field Trip Monday 10/5! Students will need a bagged lunch and boots! We'll be doing sampling in the McCabe's Brook!
Homework: This week, the goal sheet came home with choices! Students have already chosen which activity they will do for each content area. Please go over this with them this weekend. They've also created a work plan for themselves on the back of the Goal Sheet.
Stay in Touch!
