Super Bowl Weekend!

A Week in Review

January 28 - 31

 

 

Dear Families in Room 210,

 

This was an interesting week, as we had no school on Monday and then I was out sick for three days! In my thirteen years of teaching, I have never had to take three sick days in row. Wow! It was a bad flu, but I'm happy to be back. The guest teachers left great notes about the students and the huge welcome I got upon my return felt wonderful! Thanks for all the birthday wishes and gifts. Thank you cards will be coming home with students, as they did during the holidays, so watch for those! :) I'm just so appreciative for these students and how they helped the guest teachers, worked hard, and kept the class running smoothly in my absence. It is good to be back!

 

Virtue Awards:

Mrs. Hatlestad's Class has earned a Virtue Award for displaying the virtues of respect and helpfulness. While I was out sick, they helped the guest teachers and kept the class running smoothly. Thank you!

 

 

 

 

 

Reading:

Our main selection in Journeys this week was a realistic fiction piece, Darnell Rock Reporting by Walter Dean Myers. We used the target skill persuasion and the target strategy summarize to deepen our comprehension.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Math:

We wrapped up our Unit 5 Addition and Subtraction of Fractions this week. Students worked to order fractions from greatest to smallest, as well as compare and order fractions and decimals. We ended the week reviewing for the end-of-unit assessment!

 

 

 

Social Studies/Writing:

As a class, students created a rubric for a writing assignment in Social Studies. The assignment is based on the hands-on activities that students participated in last week. Students wrote letters describing their experience, focusing on the descriptions of the "places" they "visited" and how it compares to their life today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Science:

Due to the short week and the Taproot Assembly on Thursday, students did not have Science this week with Ms. Keenan. They will pick it back up next week.

 

 

Thanks again for the birthday wishes!

 

Go Seahawks!

~Mrs. Hatlestad
