Announcements Gifted small medium large 3rd Reading We have officially completed our Tuck Everlasting and associated projects! Our Ferris wheels (metaphor for time/life) are finished and we have done the video for our stop-motion. The kids did a great job with this complex process. The editing will be done next week in time for a cd to go home for the holidays. We have begun our Time Cat Unit. Our first vocabulary quiz is tomorrow morning. Students should have completed the cards last night and be studying them tonight. Each student is working with one other student to research, choose vocabulary, summarize and develop a lesson to do with the rest of the class about their specific place and time. The list is attached. I would love to have a winter solstice party next Friday. Please have your child bring a snack to share with the rest of the class. 5th Math As you may know, we are working with data analysis: charts, tables, and various types of graphs. We are learning how to read, create, and interpret data in various formats and situations. Some of the types of graphs we are working with are circle, bar, line, scatterplot, stem and leaf plots, and multiple displays. Within the data analysis, we are working fluidly between percentages, fractions and decimals and applying previous knowledge as well as critical thinking and logic skills. We will have a test on this material next Thursday the 17th. I am assuming that everyone will be in town and able to participate. Please let me know if this is not the case. I will send home the completed work from this unit Wed. night before the test for studying purposes. It may stay at home. We will (hopefully) complete our box projects this Friday. Because the science fair is optional this year, we are using these projects to learn/review the scientific method, apply our data analysis knowledge, and, in small groups, complete a science board and paper based on the explorations when we return in January. Welcome to David and Kano who have recently joined our class! Everyone is doing excellent work. Please bring a snack to share next Friday for our solstice party! 2nd Math We have been playing with elapsed time and students are working well with this complex concept. We have been doing a lot of thinking, discussing and writing about our math process-All students are scoring wonderfully on advanced math story problems-Nice work everyone!We will have a quick test next week to assess our progress in double/triple digit addition with regrouping, ballpark estimations, perimeter and area, and elapsed time. I would like to have a solstice party on Friday if each person could bring something to share with the class, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all that you do!
