Happy Tuesday Parents!
I hope you all enjoyed your extra-long weekend! We began our
day today with our math test on measurement. All of the students worked very
hard and demonstrated their exceptional knowledge and understanding of
perimeter and area. I am so proud of all of their hard work!
For language we began working on our Science Fair project!
We first watched a video on forces together as a class and then we discussed
and brainstormed about forces and motion. The class began the project by
completing the first stages of the scientific process in their Science Fair
journals. We came up with our topic, asked really good inquiry questions and
researched in books to understand more about the topic, and then we came up
with a hypothesis together as a class. The class was very engaged and I am
looking forward to conducting this experiement with them!
In UOI the students completed a “quest” on Pioneers to gage their
understanding of pioneer life. I was able to mark the tests right away and it
is clear that all of the students have an excellent understanding of pioneer
life and are able to apply that knowledge in a meaningful way!
After second lunch we had a very special surprise! The class
finally had enough points for a PARTY! We all enjoyed popcorn and pretzels
while we watched an episode of The Magic School Bus on Motion and Forces. The
class has worked so hard for this party and I felt it was time for their efforts
both inside and outside of the classroom to be celebrated!

Summative Information: our students have all selected what
they would like to do for their summative assignment on Pioneers, the topic
that they are focussing on is: “A Day in the Life of A Pioneer”. They have
chosen to do a poster, video, diary entry, diagram, or letter. Students have
until tomorrow to change how they would like to present their topic. All of the
work is done in class (with the exception of filming the video which will be
done at home), students will be required to choose an individual (farmer,
child, mother, etc.) and explain their life from that perspective. I am looking
forward to the different projects they choose to do! We will have a rubric to
guild students tomorrow!
Have a wonderful evening!
