Reflection for September 15

Boy, I should have worn a coat to school today!  It was a chilly recess!  As per usual, we were very busy today in Room 204.

In math, we discussed divisibility tests.  Ask your student what the divisibility test is for 2s and 3s.  If he/she can’t tell you, remind him/her to study the divisibility rules in the SRB.  We also covered Area and Perimeter again.

In science, we are talking about conducting scientific experiments based on a hypothesis.  The steps of the Scientific Method are :

1.  State the problem

2.  Formulate the hypothesis

3.  Make observations

4.  Design the experiment

5.  Interpret Data

6.  Draw Conclusions

7.  Report results

For Language Arts today, we discussed our “I” chart for Working on Writing.  Students were introduced to the writing center, where they can find printed paper, blank paper, a 3 hole punch and a list of writing topics.  We are always looking for donations of printed computer paper from the dollar store to add to our writing center for published work.  If you are able to contribute, it would be appreciated!

Finally, we had Buddy Reading with Mrs. Beydoun’s second graders.  Our 5th graders did a wonderful job and were excellent role models.  We enjoyed a little extra recess today because of this behavior!

Looking forward to a fun-filled Friday!
