Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Tomorrow is a day 5 (Gym and Music). Please make sure you bring your gym clothes and gym shoes to school, as well as your instrument!


 As per last year, this year I will be using an App called Remind. Through this App I will send updates about important class information, as well it is a simple way to communicate if your child will be away or have any questions about homework. Simply download the Remind App and join my classroom using the link below. Please sign up by Friday, September 13th

Completing DRA's/ Spelling









Inquiry into Mathematics

Today in math students wrote their math pre-assessment for Unit #2: Whole Numbers.

Unit of Inquiry 
Today we began our matter unit. We went over our learning goals and success criteria, as well as our central idea, key concepts, and lines of inquiry. First we had a brief discussion about what matter is and then we watched a short clip about matter. Students took notes as they watched the clip. Then in table groups students filled out the K and W in their KWL Charts. Lastly, students had an opportunity to write something on our wonder wall.
