CLASS UPDATE
Welcome back everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful break. I enjoyed rest, family, celebrations, and band performances. I wanted to thank all of you who donated to my class gift and the wonderful gift cards and treats. Wow! I ended up using the gift card on my first trip to Maui, which was simply amazing. I saw 5 Rio families on the trip! It's a small world after all.
Here is a brief overview of our learning this week in Room 12:
Reading-Our 5th grade RTI groups have started reading The Fighting Ground, a book about the American Revolution and a young boy who fights for the Continental Army. This week our reading skill is sequence of events.
Math-We are learning about graphs/statistics in 5th grade and Ratios in 6th Grade.
MLK-This week and next week we are watching the "I have a Dream" and "Mountaintop" speech and discussing this amazing man and how he transformed this country.
History-This week we start our American Revolution Unit in 5th Grade History where we learn about the French and Indian War, Boston Massacre and the Tea Party. In 6th grade we will start the exciting unit about Ancient Egypt.
At home students will continue to work on the Heritage Project (5th Grade) and Science Project (6th Grade)
See you at the school where kind hearts and open minds rule.
