Well, we certainly
had a wild week of weather! Here are
some things we did in our short week.
In Math, we sorted
quadrilaterals and discussed right angles. We also talked about how a shape is
a rectangle if it has 4 straight sides and 4 right angles. Also, the students worked
with a partner to sort rectangle shapes from biggest to smallest. They used
tiles to find the area of each rectangle after they made predictions. They
pretended the tiles were pieces of chocolate bars. The students discovered that
the tiles helped us to know how to determine the biggest or smallest chocolate
bar.
In Science, we wrapped
up our science unit on trees and took our tree test. They did a great job. Thank
you for helping your child study using the guide. We also did a cool museum
walking tour in our classroom to examine and answer questions about our family
trees. It was really fun! They posters were
very creative!
On Wednesday, we had
our vocabulary parade. We had so much fun parading around the school as verbs!

Today we had a
school assembly where the 5th graders gave us information about President
Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Next, the students secretly voted and we will
know who won the election on Monday. The results should be interesting.
Have a nice
weekend!
