The students have really impressed me this week with their grasp of some of our early math concepts. The working vocabularies of the class continues to grow and the students are starting to display their versatility in solving multiplication problems.
We also were able to read the picture book, Salt In His Shoes. This book tied in nicely with our nine core reading competencies. The students worked well together to complete some questions pertaining to the text.
As a reminder to parents and guardians, the fifth graders should be looking to return signed and completed science camp forms as soon as possible. These forms are due by next Tuesday, the 27th. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
I also wanted to spread the word that we are still looking for some chaperones for science camp. Ideally, we would like to have adults stay the four days of camp, but we would also be open to having people volunteer for portions of camp. Please contact me at: dallen@arlington.k12.ma.us if you are interested in helping out.
Homework
Using the kidblog website, the students should respond to this prompt: Make a prediction about how August's time at his new school will go for him. Do you think that he will have a positive or negative experience at school? Why or why not? Please use evidence from the text to back up your point of view.
This post should be at least two paragraphs in length and should be posted by Friday, September 23rd.
