First thing's first. A huge thank you to everyone that came out to conferences to talk about these amazing kids! I think conferences went really well. We talked about goals, accomplishments, upcoming projects, and fun things like field trips and travel!
Quarter 2 will be a little more challenging than quarter 1 for the students so that the students continue to grow.
Here's what we will work on next week in class:
Language Arts: We will continue to read myths and legends in small group and find key events. In writing, we will finish our rough drafts and move on to self editing and peer editing.
I will introduce our next project, a book report on Thursday. It is not due until after winter break (January 4th).
Math: We will start multiplication of decimals with base ten blocks this week. A tri-fold will be sent home on Tuesday.
Social Studies: This week, students should finish their slides. Please look over the slides with your child and help them edit. Specifically, look to make sure they are using their own words (no plagiarizing) and simple grammar and punctuation. They are also required to cite their work.
Students can access Mackinvia from home using their @student.dodea.edu account for research.
Science: We are working on the human digestive system at the moment. Here's a sample of what students are doing!
