Scholars - Your countdown is on for a break BUT you still
have 5.5 days left to work hard and really absorb these new objectives in
fractions. We know they are difficult
but if you can compare the fractions to your everyday life it will help you to
have a better understanding and reasoning of them. You have all divided fractions in your
everyday life – have you ever helped pass out a snack and you had to give EACH
person the same amount of the snack! You literally lived a fraction word
problem;). Are you using your time
wisely? Ask yourselves that, keep yourselves accountable for YOU! Many of you
are beginning to have your own organizational system and that is a lifelong
skill. If you have not established and organizational
skill and you are still showing up to school or group unprepared – let’s
brainstorm a system that works for you! Let’s practice now! If you are in Kessler’s room please remember
that you will be loading up your belongings and bringing them home on
Thursday! You can bring in your
decorated(small paper bag) with your name on it on Tuesday. We will have our celebration on Friday the 14th!
We will share out kind notes to each other! Very simple! Fill out your schedule on the buzz and write
what you are going to do over trackout on the back!
Parents – This is our last week before
trackout. We are already half way through
quarter 3! WOW! 3rd quarter is ALL fractions. Please continue your child to take advantage
of the materials on the blog. There are
videos to reinforce different skills that have been taught and video games that
align with the standards that have been taught.
The kids have been working very hard and we are encouraging each child
to really understand an organizational method that works for them. This will be very important for them to have
this down pat by middle school. We will
order the G5/T2 t-shirts over break(thank you Ms. Missy)!
