This week we focused on the power of our words. We considered the impact they have to bring people up, or bring them down. Our words have the power to make situations better or worse.
Please have your SBLCer check his or her red folder for pink spring conference forms. Thanks for sending your spring conference preference slip back with your kiddo on ASAP so we can make time to meet on Monday, 2/17 if needed.
We're wrapping up several weeks of powerful fraction work and made some meaningful connections between fractions and measurement. Starting with distances around the room, student pairs created a unique distance measurement and labeled a measuring tape from 0 to 2 whole units. This rigorous task involved lots of comparing and ordering fractions, folding to create evenly spaced intervals, and effective collaboration. Your child can tell you about their creative unit name, which classroom objects they measured, and the feedback they gave/received from others.
We started our new novel, Planet Earth is Blue. We are curious, as our main character, Nova, has left us with a puzzling start.
Here's a slew of pictures from our "Construction Zone." Conjunctions, subjects, predicates, dependent variables + punctuation equals some fabulous sentences. We built a series of simple, compound and complex sentences -- in a fun way!
