News for 4/16

We had a wonderful and busy week at school. The book fair was a great success. We enjoyed the first grade chicks and set our sights on accomplishing many things. We learned a lot!

Math:

3rd Grade- 

Third grade completed their unit on measurement. We rounded out our learning with elapsed time. We will be heading into our final unit of the year, Financial Literacy. 

4th Grade-

Fourth graders spent the week exploring different types of graphs for data analysis.  We conducted an experiment timing our ability to stand on one foot, and made a dot plot to record our results.  Students also had the chance to make their own unique survey for the class, and recorded responses on a scatterplot.  Watching their creativity has been fun!

We ended the week exploring desmos.com by investigating the length and weight of alligators, and trying to decipher if the two are related using scatterplots.  What a fun week we've had!

5th Grade-

Fifth grade has spent this week studying independent and dependent events using additive and multiplicative relationships.  Students have had the opportunity to answer questions, create tables, graphs and equations while learning how variables are related to each other.  We ended the week by taking an assessment, and playing a fun game of "Ghosts in the Graveyard".  Ask your student how it worked- they were surprised at the way the winners were determined in this fun review game!

ELA Enrichment & ISP:

1st Grade- 

First graders are well on their way to having great research papers done for their ISPs!  Everyone has at least three paragraphs written, and a few are ready to make their cover pages.  I'm so proud!  Keep working on your models at home- I can't wait to see what you all create!

We finished up our glyph honeybees today.  We had a great time learning a few interesting facts about how bees make honey.  I will be creating our own hive in the hallway soon!

2nd Grade-

Second grade worked hard on their ISP research this week. Everyone is typing their essays. They will begin building their boards next week!

3rd Grade-
