Crew Learning | Expedition: Our new science expedition unit is titled "Colorado Rocks" about geology. Students were divided in expert groups about the Rock Cycle or Rocks & Minerals and then shared their new learning with each other. |
Math: Our geometry unit has taken us to measuring angles and analyzing symmetrical figures. When checking in with a muplitiplication/division practice sheet, several students expressed their anxiety about these. Please continue to study at home! HINTS AT HOME: Continue studying multiplication/division facts at home. There are tons of great internet/ipad/cell phone games/resources that make practicing these fun. | Writing/Language/Reading Workshop: We wrapped up our genre study and students selected a book review to publish using Google Documents. HINTS AT HOME: Students are encouraged to continue typing book reviews and reading responses using kidblogs. |
Spelling: Here is the spelling list for this week.
