ScienceThis week in science most students were either working on their first draft of their artifact or receiving feedback on their first draft. At this point in the project they have enough work completed to show you at home. Please ask them about their work and offer feedback on what they've produced. If you want to fill out a feedback form you can print one up using this link. We also started a new beginning of the class activity. Before students can get their Chromebooks they must fill out the form below as a group. This activity allows the group to think about what they want to finish during the class period and who's working on the task. At the end of the class period I move between each group and ask them for evidence of their completed work. Students at this age are really good at thinking of big ideas, but not so good at breaking those big as down in to smaller achievable goals. This activity gives them time to practice small goal setting and distribution of tasks. Lastly, we took a trip on Thursday to the UofM Natural History Museum. We took some time to explore the exhibits, but the main focus was the planetarium show. During the show students learned about the Sun, Earth, and Moon system. They also got time to ask questions about their research topics. Here are a few pictures from the trip. MathHere's a rundown of what we worked on in math this week. Monday: Book Work Day Tuesday: We worked on Word Problem #25. This problem is from the 5A book and is a great problem to practice bar modeling. Here's the bar model solution as well as the algebraic solution. Wednesday: Weekly Book Goal Conference
Thursday: Game Day Friday: We started a new activity this Friday. The main focus of the activity is to practice out of the box thinking and problem solving as a group. The problems have multiple solutions and require each group to explain their rational for the solution. Here's the problem we worked on this week.
