A Week in Review

May 26 - 30

 

We had a short week, but a great week! Here's what we've been up to:

 

 

Virtue Awards:

Sanjita has earned a Virtue Award for demonstrating the virtues of kindness and helpfulness. Sanjita is always willing to help a teacher or classmate with whatever it is they need! Thank you for making our classroom a better place!

 

Reading:

We continued our class read aloud, Crash. We enjoyed cocoa and discussion about the book. Students are reading independently and answering higher level thinking questions to deepen their comprehension.





 

 

Math:

In math this week, we worked to divide whole numbers by fractions and divide fractions by fractions. We learned WHY the "flip the second fraction and multiply" method works and we used models to help us visualize equations.

 

Social Studies:

Chapter 15: The Bill of Rights wrapped up this week. We watched a short video from the Constitution Center that explained the need for the amendments and gave examples of how the US Supreme Court has interpreted the laws.

 

Health:

For Health, we studied both the male and female reproductive parts. We used diagrams to label the parts and discuss each part's purpose or function. We also learned about pregnancy and the changes a fetus goes through in the womb. I brought in ultrasound pictures and videos of the twins to share with our class.


Go Seahawks!
