Ack News- 3/25
Today was a great week of learning! We were able to show
incredible progress with fractions! Students are capable of adding and
subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and we are now working on
applying that to real word situations.
In science they found were able to identify a mystery chemical by
following a procedure they were familiar with that included, saturation and
weighing in grams. They worked tirelessly on their social studies projects and
made some great gains in writing their narratives.
We finished up the week with an egg hunt with our
kindergarten buddies and making another solution with borax and water. The kids
are excited to see what their pipe-cleaners will do if left in the cups over
the weekend.
Next week we start Smarter
Balanced Reading assessment. It was supposed to begin Monday but due to some
issues we will start Tuesday. Students
will take the test in their reading class in the morning for about an hour a
day. Students were asked to bring home a
note to parents with 4 index cards attached. We are asking you to write
positive, encouraging notes to your child that we will leave with them each
day. We also ask that your child wear as much blue as they can each day
starting Tuesday.
There will be no homework next week. Students will
practicing some foundation math skills and working on their Memory Book.

look forward to:

Mixtures and Solutions
Students finished up iReady testing and we are continuing to work on Algebra in Math.
In science, they just completed a hands on assessment on what they learned so far in Mixtures and Solutions. Students needed to figure out how to separate a mixture of gravel, powder, and salt. They did awesome!
Geography Bee was this week! We had one finalist from our room- Congratulations Kelsey!!!!
