Wouldn't it be nice to spend your time all day with creative children in a supportive school where kids and staff and families get along? This educator can tell you YES! These Beach Boys thoughts were inpsired Friday morning as we celebrated our water cycle learning so far with a Beach Boys record. Students did an amazing job on their water cycle assessment (few pics below), then they were focused All-Stars during independent work time as they chose to work on literature journals, passports, book shares or writing. We have been booking independent work time into the schedule on Fridays for kids to make responsible choices to work on various projects or finish up assignments. This upcoming week we have another fairly heavy work load so students will want to be responsible with their itme managament thorugout the week and prepare for work due on Friday. We will celebrate our Age of Exploration work with our Passport Celebration this Friday. Students who have earned a cumulative 28 points on their passports will enjoy a 5th grade "journey"! See the focus for each subject below.
Reading: finish "journey" themed lit journals (due Friday)
Writing: more crafting, then drafting of our Explorer narratives (all class work)
Math: focus on fractions, comparing and ordering (homework practice nightly)
Social Studies: continue Discovery game and passports IF NEEDED (due Friday)
