Hello, Families!
I apologize for the lack of updates this week. It has been a busy one.
We have completed our force in motion assessment and have moved on to simple machines. Students first worked to sort and group pictures, trying to group like simple machines together. After some research yesterday, we began simple machine stations today. Students are working to explore, create, and test each of our six simple machines. They are recording their information, including pictures in a Google slides presentation. We will rotate through these stations into next week.
We also completed our first assessment over decimal fractions. Students complete a reflection of the assessment, which will be shared during student led concern next week.
After completing our assessment on the Louisiana Purchase and the Texas Revolution, we've hit the trail. The Oregon Trail! Students have worked to make inference from pictures and journal entries, and have complete a web quest about life on the Oregon Trail. They've discovered disease, starvation, treacherous terrain and more!
We are excited to welcome you to student led conferences next Wednesday. Confirmation of your scheduled time will come home next week. If you have not yet signed up, please use the link in your email or last week's blog posts to pick a time.
Have a great night!
