Since the 6th graders won the door decoration for Red Week, they are being rewarded with a cookie cake party this Friday. Drinks will be provided, but 4 students have volunteered to bring in a bag of chips to go along with the cake. I'll remind those students tomorrow. The party will be the last part of the day before dismissal.
Yesterday, some 5th graders missed the science lesson becuase they had a 4-H meeting. They were not in class for the questions that they need for the test tomorrow. They have had the vocabulary since Friday and I told them they would be responsible for finishing the questions today. There aren't many questions, so it should not be a problem. We went over the answers in class, too. We also were able to review in 6th grade for the science test tomorrow.
5th grade and 6th grade are only having a quiz in heritage studies this week. They have all of the information that they need.
We started our new math lessons today. For 5th grade, they learned adding and subtracting with uncommon denominators. Last week, they learned how to make common denominators and a few weeks ago they learned adding fractions. I'm confident that they will do well since they already learned it, just in two separate parts. We spent the majority of our class time working on it so that each student could do their assignment. I also assigned them each a few problems to turn in so that I can see if they are getting it. 6th grade moved on to multiplying decimals, but it's simple and requires regular multiplication. The only difference is where to put the decimal in the answer.
It seems like both classes are going to be doing better in math, especially once they realize that they already know how to do all or most of it for this week.
