We didn't have a ton of time this week to focus on learning, but we did do some! We did some reading and math in between kickball tournaments and field days and other things like that. So instead of going through subjects, I'll go over what we did this week. Monday: We had AM field day, after which we came back and did a little reading work, and then continued our kickball tournament, but our class skipped a round and practiced instead. Tuesday: We started this day with normal reading work, but after lunch we played the final game in our tournament, winning in extra innings against Mrs. Charlebois' class, 19-16. In the afternoon, we finished up field day outside. Wednesday: Field day involved a lot of events, and unfortunately some of the events were skipped entirely. We used this day to make up those events and have a popsicle party afterward that we also did not have time for on Tuesday. Thursday: As you know, this was awards day! I am always glad to see the kids dress up and be recognized for their hard work. Friday: Today our focus was my favorite end of the year game, classroom jeopardy! All year I've been keeping notes on the kids and I use those to make one Jeopardy question about each student and the class plays to see who knows this year the best. Who made the most paper airplanes this year?Who was the quickest to come back when I was teasing them? Who loves bee butts? Ask your students! Thank you for all of your support this year, it was a long and often confusing year for the kids, and your support has been invaluable to the students, my classroom, and to me personally. Richmond parents are always great, but I don't know that I've ever had a group of parents who were so involved and helpful in making a year happen. Whatever else happened along the way this year, this classroom was a safe and predicable place for students to be, and that is due in no small part to your help and support. Thank you. Announcements:
We started a 4th grade recess kickball tournament today, and we'll continue into next week. I am very confident that we're going to win! I was SO IMPRESSED with our class at both Greenfield Village and Beebe Street Park! Everyone had a great time and followed all the expectations we had. Thanks to both you and your students. Field Day is in the morning of Monday AND Tuesday next week. Reading: The kids really got into listening to songs and reading their lyrics the last time we did it, so these last two weeks we've been doing the same thing, but this time looking for what point of view the song is written from, first or third person. Writing: We're continuing on with some of the most important skills for 5th grade writing, which is making compound sentences using conjunction. Math: We've been continuing with Envisions math, working on things like rounding and place value comparions. Social Studies: The kids continued to work on Greenfield Village activities this week, and told me about all the things they saw that they had read about, it was fun! Science: The kids had some great PowerPoint presentations about their landforms... that are now locked up in the library on their computers. You can see them next year, but they were awesome! |
