Wednesday we will be celebrating  Valentine's Day. Students can bring in their own special snack/drink for our celebration. 

Students are more than welcome to bring in valentines for all classmates, however, they cannot contain any food/candy product. The class list is located in our Google Classroom- we have 24 students! 

***Sperreng's counselors will be presenting on Thursday morning. Be on the lookout for a 6th grade course form coming home Thursday.

***There is no school Friday or Monday- enjoy your 4-day weekend!

Science- We are continuing Chrome Camp! Students are discovering how to best utilize our new Chromebooks. Students are leading mini-sessions in our "Unconference" format- check it out here! . Thursday we will engage in an Unconference with all of 5th grade!

 

Reading-  We are researching debatable issues as we study arguments and advocacy! This week we will organize an ethical research life to investigate an issue within research teams. Have your student show you their debatable issue's text set on padlet (link in their Google classroom). 

Writing-  We are wrapping up our mini-unit on writing a fantasy narrative. Students are busy drafting, revising, and editing with a focus on fantasy elements such as setting, characters with internal/external quests or problems, and resolutions. Stories are due Tuesday, 2/20.

Math- We are busy working on multiplying and dividing fractions this week! Students are not just learning the steps, they are learning how to show visually with models in order to truly understand the algorithm. I couldn't be prouder of the math discussions we have each day! See the below video we will watch in class to really understand fraction multiplication!
