We had a lovely weekend with gentle sun and wind. Hopefully our class plants in our garden are still growing well. We have two more weeks before STAAR. If your child has missed school days or has forgotten some concepts and skills, please use the Mock STAAR as a reference to review with your child. I'll do my best to help my students in class. In the following week we will focus on reviewing the skills below:
How is our garden growing?
- Compare fractions with the same denominator in word problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models.
- Compare fractions with the same numerator in word problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models.
- Represent and solve one and two- step multiplication and division problems within 100 using arrays, strip diagrams, and equations.
- Relate subtraction and division word problem solving
- Classify and sort plane figures
- Classify and sort two- and three- dimensional figures based on attributes using formal geometric language such as faces, edges and vertices
- Investigate how environmental conditions affect populations within an ecosystem
- Explore how adaptations help an organism survive in its environment
- Fun Friday - rewarding students who maintain excellent conduct and have a good work ethic. They will have a fun and relaxed lunch in class with me. Snacks and drinks will be served while watching fun and healthy educational movies such as PBS's Planet Earth during lunch block. Students who are invited by Mrs. Waters will bring their own lunch or pick up school lunch. Parents are welcome to donate snack such as gold fish, tangerines & juice boxes starting Monday April 25th.
- Cycle 5 Report Cards will go home Friday April 29th.
Wow, 26 inches!
