From Summer Countdown to Everything in Between

The end of the school year is quickly approaching and there is still a lot that we are doing.  We are continuing with the Summer Coundown and working on Opinion Writing.  

Writing and Reading:

The children are writing opinion pieces about where they would like to sit for the remainder of the year and have to convince/ persuade me in order to sit where they want.  Their reasons have to be valid and logical.  I have received some and am reading through them.  For the most part, many of them have some good points and are coming up with some thoughtful reasons.  

Reveal Math:

The class loves coming up and showing the children what they know and explaining how they get their answers.  This is all part of the UPS Check strategy.  After going over the lesson with the group, many volunteer to come up and "teach" to the class.  It gets the children involved and I am able to see what they know.

Science and Social Studies:

The children are continuing with Creating their Country and learning about the Earth's Features.  The children are excited to work on their country and coming up with a name and all of the interesting details that go along with it.  

On Friday the children brought in their final Social Studies project- The RI Scavenger Hunt.  They did a phenomenal job and I was super excited to see all of them.

Outdoor Fun:

The children have been enjoying the beautiful weather these days.  They laugh, they play and they take in the sunshine.  Outdoor recess is always a fun time. 

5Th Grade Student Council:

Mrs. Sanchez and I run the student council for 5th grade.  We meet once a month in the morning and plan various events and activities for throughout the school year.  This past Wednesday, we held our final meet.  This was such a great group and they were very  involved in the planning.  We wish them all the best as they leave SOS and move onto middle school.
