Thursday update (10/8)

Hello everyone,
 
As I will be out tomorrow, here are the weekly notes:
 
  • In English, we finished our vacation stories and read "Coyote School News"
  • In math, we learned 'The Sums Game,' a game picked up at the Singapore Math conference
  • We turned in our Science Fair abstracts and had individual check-ins to ensure that all projects are 'experiment ready'
  • We worked in the computer lab researching our States for state projects
Next week we can look forward to:
 
  • bringing Science fair materials to work on in class. To clarify, this does not mean bringing experiment stuff, it means bringing display board and other documents to begin working in class on the presentations. That means that, if possible, this would be a great weekend to do experiments or to get longer experiments underway!
  • behavior logs. We are going to start behavior logs next week so the Friday folder's will become daily folders. Papers will still come home on Fridays, but the log will come home each day for parents to review. (With regards to Friday Folders, they are NOT coming home this week, but in the future I will let parents know that they are coming home in order to help hold students accountable for giving graded work to parents).
Thank you all for reading!
 
Mr. Dyson
