It's hard to believe that spring break begins now. We will not be updating the blog during spring break but will continue to update it weekly like we always have been after the break. If you haven't already done so, please subscribe to our e-mail list so you can start receiving our updates straight to your inbox. Weekly updates have been sent from the school and it includes some great links. We may have more information for you after the break as well.
This past week would have been student led conferences. One of the tasks was a math task and problem solving.
Below is the link to the problem where your child would have showed you how they would solve this problem. We have been working a lot on how to solve math problems these past several months. Please find some time to have your child work through this problem independently using the organizer sheet provided in the link. This could give you an indication to where they are at with their math. We use these statements in class so students know what is expected:
- I can record my thoughts and ideas in a neat and organized way
- I can use pictures, numbers and or words to show how I solved the problem
- I can check my work (Did I clearly answer my problem?)
Your child can show you how they self assess their math work using the sheet provided in the link. We use the colors green (got it), yellow (working on it) and red (I'm stuck) to indicate where we think we are. You can be the teacher and assess their work as well using the teacher reflection column. If you do not have access to a printer, you can draw your own by copying our template. Please feel free to scan/take a photo of the sheet and e-mail it to us.
Math Problem
Our class has been diligently following the life cycle of our rainbow trout. We currently have 6 rainbow trout and they now have their very own blog. Mrs. Ly will continue to go into the school on a regular basis to care for our fish. She will feed them and clean their tank. We are hoping they will survive so we can release them in May.
Rainbow Trout Blog
Thank you for sending us videos and photos of what you have been doing, we LOVE seeing your faces. Please continue to send us your updates regularly. We would normally share photos from the week in our classroom so we thought it might be a neat idea to collect some photos of what you have been up to and share it on our blog regularly. All you need to do is simply say in your e-mail "yes please feel free to share this photo on the blog". We do have a list of families who have signed our media consent forms that were sent out at the beginning of the year so we can only post photos of those students only.
Here's what some of your friends are up to this week:
