Good Morning!
Now that we have finally settled back into our routine, I'd like to take a moment just to update you on things going on in our classroom! Since being back, our students have completed their novel study projects, began writing biographies on influential leaders of the Roaring 20's, and have planned and are working on creating a project to show and explain how plant and animal cells are different from each other. The students have really enjoyed having challenging projects to complete while still being able to make choices about how to demonstrate what they know. In math, we have wrapped up our unit on fractions and many students have demonstrated mastery of our standards in this unit. We will continue practicing these challenging concepts in math class in small groups and on Khan Academy, but I encourage you to practice with your child as well. Students may practice any skills in their MyMath text book or on Khan Academy. Another great resource is IXL, which has family memberships starting at $10 a month for one subject or $20 a month for all of your core classes. This is a great alternative to getting a tutoring service if you're looking for additional help outside of the school to help prepare for Milestones or to review and stay fresh on our standards for the year. In the next few weeks, students will begin several new units. Please see the list below for more information about upcoming topics in each of our subjects!
If you would like to volunteer to help during one of these units, have ideas for activities, work in a related field, or just want to come read and engage with our students during any one of these units, please let me know! I would love to have some more parent involvement within our classroom. Also, don't hesitate to send me an email, class dojo message, or comment on this post if you have questions about the standards or topics being covered. I would love to help! -Miss Dobbins
