You will receive confirmations from us on the 5th and 6th. Students will be leading the conferences, so we do want them with us for this meeting. If you’ve not signed up by Wednesday, we’ll be calling and sending out Dojo messages. Meeting with you and your student is really important to us.
Curriculum
This week, we finished our unit on adding and subtracting decimals. I met with students to talk about how they felt about their progress through this unit. Next week, students will bring home their self reflection including their Proud Moments and Areas for Growth. Monday, we will started our multiplication unit. By the end of the unit, students should be able to use the most efficient strategy to multiply multidigit numbers by multidigit numbers. Strategies will include box method and standard algorithm. Our goal is that students have a conceptual understanding of what happens when we multiply something five times or 257 times. Practice makes us more proficient! I will send home which workbook pages students can do at home to become more proficient if you’d like to have them complete additional practice.
In science, we completed a unit on why the sun is up sometimes, but not all the time. This week, we’ll expand our knowledge of earth on sky and learn why we see different stars at different times of the year. We also continued to work on our ecosystems coding unit, and we were able to see what really happens when we fish too much, or when we have too much algae in an ecosystem.
Thanks for another great week with great kids. They really are amazing!
