It was a busy Monday. We started a new media / language unit around the reality-based show Kid Nation.
Media/Language Arts
We completed part of episode 1 (20 minutes) and complete question 1.
I've included information about the first writing assignment (question 1 only) which we completed in class today and have posted information on the Google Classroom.
We will be completing questions 2-5 and finishing watching the episode this week.
Book study - We'll be starting a book study later this week where students are going to read a novel/book and choose an activity which shares the book they have read.
Math - We are continuing to work on proportional reasoning and how to represent proportions via fractions, percentage, and decimals. Rates (grade 6) and using benchmarks (grade 5) and ratios to come.
Bike Week - we're recording how many students walk, bike, etc. each day this week.
Gardening - I have signed up to take care of a planter in the front of the school. I've opened offers to students in the class and Ms. Gatt's classroom. We had our first meeting of 8 students from Ms. Gatt's class attended.
This group did research and made a plan at lunch with me today to plant lettuce, dill, basil and sweet peppers.
We are meeting again tomorrow. All are welcome.
Newsletter. I've attached a copy of the May newsletter here.
