ReflectionsIt is hard to believe that we are entering into 2016! Sometimes it is like a time warp! Before break we had some time to do some fun activities. We investigated Christmas around the world and enjoyed different treats and activities. We met with our Kinder buddies and watched a little bit of The Grinch. We even had some time to dissect owl pellets as a way to wrap up our animal adaptations unit! UpdateWe have many updates as we enter into 2016. First, our Kids Food Basket event will take place on Saturday, January 9th at 12:00. The location is 2055 Oak Industrial Dr NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505. Please be sure to turn in your permission slip if you wish to attend. Each child can have one adult with them. We still have plenty of room!
Spelling lists will be coming home again. I will be changing the way that I do spelling tests because I want to see the words used within a sentence correctly. I will be giving students the spelling tests in more of a paragraph form. I will be testing both mechanics and spelling on each of these tests. Can drive is this week! Send in those cans so that we can help the 5th graders with their camp expenses and maybe even win a party! Curriculum: Math- We are working on our measurement unit. Please be sure to practice time, elapsed time, and measuring with your child! Elapsed time always proves to be challenging! Writing- We will be wrapping up our non-fiction writing this week. Students will be revising, editing, and publishing. Science- We will be spending Monday reviewing what we have learned about animal adaptations and will test on Tuesday. Social Studies- We will be beginning history this week. We will start with learning about the earliest people of Michigan. Reading - We will be finishing our work with biographies this week. Reminders: PE - Monday & Thursday KFB event - Saturday 12:00 Can drive this week!
