Math: This week we had a full week of five math lessons. We focused on subtraction, converting lengths, some geometric concepts around lines, and perimeter. Whew! It was a lot. If you noticed that your son/daughter struggled with any of these concepts on the pretest, these would be great things to practice on either IXL or the home links. These are on top of the math fact fluency practice that they should be doing. We want to work on everyone getting 90 percent or better on their first math assessment that we will take on Tuesday.
Reading: We know have our reading block time down. Last week, every group met and discussed our goals as a group. This week we will begin reading together articles about the US government.
Writing: This week we continued our personal narratives. We wrote for an extended period of time, added description and details, and wrapped up our stories with great conclusions. We are beginning to publish these and will have them available for you at conferences.
PBL: We spent this week diving into a unit on the government. Our driving question is, "How can we as students make sure our voices are heard at A2STEAM? We are learning about a House Bill that is being sent to Governor Snyder that states that those who are not reading by 3rd grade do not move to 4th. We are having some very interesting discussions around this.
Forms to Return: Recorder Form and money, Blue DTE Form ONLY if you wan to OPT out.
Upcoming: Our next unit on the Human Brain will be starting next week. Please let me know if you are a coach or an athlete that would be willing to make a short video. If you are interested, please contact me at bertelson@aaps.k12.mi.us
I’m looking forward to another great month! Its hard to believe that we are already a month in!
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
