Andrzej was our Awesome All-Star last week! He shared several of his favorite items on Monday, including his presidential coin collection, a Minion light and music player, and an Army bear in honor of his dad and grandpa. Andrzej also read aloud his favorite book and enjoyed a special lunch with his lunch buddy. The class had many nice things to say about Andrzej when they wrote compliments to him on Friday.
Math Workshop
We finished up Unit 6 lessons. We continued to review area and perimeter. Students need to understand area measures the space inside of a shape. We can find area using the formula length x width. Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape. We can find perimeter using the formula length + width + length + width. Students also worked on their Zoo Projects. These projects were assigned to students to give more practice with area and perimeter. Students are creating their own zoo. They needed to create a blueprint on graph paper with six animal habitats and other zoo features, such as gift shop, snack stand, restrooms, etc. Then they needed to find the area and perimeter of each of the items on their blueprint. The final products will come home once they've finished.
Research Workshop
Students are working hard to transfer all of their paragraphs written in their rough draft booklets into their final drafts of their country reports. They are also working to include colorful illustrations. We've been practicing for the International Festival as well. Students need to have their fact memorized by Thursday. We will continue to practice our songs and speaking parts this week so we are ready for our audience on Thursday! We look forward to sharing our performance with you!
M-Step Practice
We have been practicing how to login to the M-Step Online Test. We have been practicing with the keyboards and stylus pens as well. Students have practiced ELA test questions and math test questions.
