Last week we were able to enjoy Genius Hour on Friday. This was a really productive and fun time for the group! We had a few presentations at the end of the hour. One student finished her research about the blobfish and shared the poster that she created. Another group made a hockey game out of a cardboard box. Two students attempted to design a new type of fishing device using a bottle that would act as a bobber. Students were motivated and on task! The creativity and drive in this group is incredible!
Math: We will be beginning a new unit in math this week. We will be starting off by making some flashcards to remember our new vocabulary. Students should quickly flip through these words along with their multiplication cards each night. Writing: We are working on our final drafts of our informational books. Students have put in so much work and they are really turning out nice! We have a tentative plan to have our writing celebration on February 9th and parents are invited! More info will come home soon. Reading: Students will continue their work with non-fiction reading in class. I have seen such a great improvement in reading overall. I am really looking forward to testing the group soon! Social Studies: we are working on our Michigan History unit. We are finishing up our Native American portion and will be moving into fur traders soon! Reminders: Wed - Gym Friday - early release February 5 - 6 - no school winter break
