We've had such an awesome first week together. I promised the students I would share the links to some of the videos we used in class so that they could watch them again from home.
We have spent a great deal of time learning about engineering, as this is a new word for them. Resources used in class are listed below:
On Wednesday and Thursday, students became the engineer as they built paper airplanes, conducted trial flights, chose a modification, and tested their planes again.
In math this week, we watched a read aloud of the book Chrysanthemum. We did several math activities relating to our names. We compared name lengths, created a bar graph of the names in our class, and used a coding system to add up the value of our name.
We've had a great week getting to know each other and learn the routines and procedures for our school. Next week we will begin jumping into the content standards and will be on a regular schedule of classwork (binder work) and homework. Students will receive an EveryDay Math Journal 1 on Monday. Their homework sheet will be assigned from in on Monday and due on Friday.
Thank you so much for sharing your children with us. We have had such a great week and I look forward to all we will learn next week together!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns!
