We had a great start to our week! We began discussing first and second hand accounts. This was an important discussion about primary and secondary sources. We will work to analyze these accounts tomorrow.
Students began writing their own myths. We used our knowledge of mythology, and students began the prewriting process for planning their myths. Ask your child to tell you about their myth!!
Students worked in sound stations today. They rotated through and explored pitch and vibration. They are able to understand what changes are made to create a change in pitch and also which material sound travels through the fastest.
We continued our work with line plots today and rotate through our last math station. We also worked to discover fraction patterns.
Schedules for student-led conferences were sent home in red folders today. Please sign up for a time that works with your schedule. There are six slots available during each block of time. They will be filled on a first come, first served basis. This will be a conference with your child, not with me. :)
As we continue through this week, we have a ton of things going on.
1. Please send in your Math-a-thon pledges. These are due by Friday.
2. We are excited for our field trip to the Fox Theater on Thursday to see the Alvin Ailey Dance Group. Students have been asked to dress nicely for this event.
3. Valentine's Day is on Saturday. We will not have a class party, but students are welcome to bring Valentines to exchange with our class. This is NOT required. If you choose to send Valentines, please send enough for each student in our class to have one. We have 28 students. A list of names was sent home in red folders.
