Math: This week we continued multiplication. We spent most of the week on a new term: multiplicative comparison. We now know that this means how two or more things compare using a multiplication equation. Its pretty complicated, but students worked hard to understand. We now have 5 students totally finished with fact fluency skill practice!
Reading: We took a break from guided reading this week to do data conferences to get ready for conferences. During these data conferences, we looked at our previous data and then our goal for this year. The students looked at their scores to make some decisions on things they could do to help make that growth possible. You will get a chance to hear all about this at conferences in a few weeks.
Writing: We finally finished our letters to Governor Snyder. We are now turning our attention to another opinion writing piece for Expo. We can't wait to share those with you.
PBL: Wow! We have learned a lot about the brain. We started the week with guest presenters giving us new and important information about the brain. As the week continued, we focused on how brain processing information and we began to think about how that processing can be interrupted for a variety of reasons. This will lead to this week where we begin really thinking about concussions.
Forms to Return: DTE Energy Forms - We need ALL 24 back to get our 100 grant for classroom supplies and fun!
Upcoming: 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
Morning Meeting: We are stretching a little beyond Mindup to focus on Growth Mindset! Ask your student to talk about what it means to be gritty. :)
I’m looking forward to another great week! Please ask your child what they are learning about the brain this week.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
