Happy Thursday!!!

Another busy day on the AVE!
After exploring more with area and perimeter, students worked to create rectangles.  They measured with rulers and went to another rectangle to determine the area and perimeter.  Students will be working with area and perimeter for homework tonight.  See the link below for assistance.
Homework

We used ice, salt, and a can to explore a process of change in our ice.  Ask your child to tell you more!

Students were introduced to our opinion writing unit.  We explored how to locate an author's opinion and looked at the evidence the author provided to support their opinion.

DON'T FORGET:
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
Please take time to complete the parent survey at the link below.  An explanation of the survey is given at the end of this blog post.  We are aiming for 100% parent participation!!  Thank you in advance!!

Survey Information

Based upon student, parent and staff responses, along with other data,  we will be assigned a star rating from 1-5. The School Climate Star Rating is calculated using data from the Georgia Student Health Survey 2.0, Georgia School Personnel Survey, Georgia Parent Survey, student discipline data and attendance records for students, teachers, staff and administrators.  The School Climate Star Rating provides school-level data on the following components:

1) School Climate – a measure of student, teacher, and parent perceptions of a school’s climate and the congruency between the three;

2) Student Discipline – a look into disciplinary practices and utilization of the research-based practices promoting positive interventions; 

3) Safe and Substance-Free Learning Environment – student responses on use of illegal substances and the prevalence of violence, bullying, and unsafe incidents within a school; and

4) Attendance – the average daily attendance of students, teachers, administrators, and staff members. 

Each of the components will be given equal value.
