Outdoor Ed

Our class will be going on our outdoor ed trip April 16th.  It's a bit earlier this year than it has been in the past due to transportation availability.  Please use the information below to register, if you haven't done do already.  
On the day of the trip, each student needs to bring a backpack with the following:
  • A bag lunch
  • Multiple bottles of water 
  • Two healthy snacks (fruit, granola, veggies, etc...)
  • Sunscreen 
Additionally, students need to wear clothes that are appropriate for the being outside.  Tennis shoes are required.  Please do not allow your student to wear sandals on this trip.  As students will be wearing helmets for a few of the activities, girls often find bringing a hair tie helpful to keep their hair out of the way.  Please no high ponytails as the helmet won't be secure.  Students will NOT be allowed to bring cell phones.  All teachers will have cell phones in case of an emergency.  There are also phones at the facility. Registration is done through My School Bucks.  Thanks again!

Reading
In reading we are working on perspective. We are trying to notice what the
character is  feeling or thinking. We are learning how to pick up clues that tell
students if they are mad, sad, happy, or hyper. Students try to determine their
perspective by looking at words or phrases in the story.


Math
In math we are working on adding and subtracting decimals. We are also
working on multiplying fractions, we are learning how to make the
denominators the same so that it is easier to multiply them.
Writing
In writing we are learning how to write an argumentative essay. We are
working on how to know what the reader is going to say next, so that we
can prove them wrong.


Social studies/History

In social studies/history we are working on studying travelers on a time line.
Like Christopher Columbus, we are even reading a book about how he
discovered the Bahamas, but thought he was in the Indies.

           Hello Gold Rush Families!
Our class has been doing some really cool stuff, and we want to make sure                  
                                         you know all about it!
       
Reading: In Reading we have been determining the different text structures in
different texts whether it’s description, compare and contrast, cause and effect,
sequence, or problem and solution.  We read different texts and compare the
different text structures of each different article. We are also working on our
Inquiry Research Projects. Those are the topics we chose to learn about and do
projects on.


Math: In math we are doing multiplication and division with fractions.  We do
either fractions multiplied by whole numbers, fractions multiplied by mixed
numbers, or fractions multiplied by fractions.  We are also working on rounding
decimals and adding and subtracting decimals.


Writing: In writing we have been working on our argumentative topics.  We
have to state our claim clearly and then have reasons to support our claims.  
Then, we need true evidence having to do with that reason to support it. We
are also working on our essays.  We are learning how to make our essays
stronger, to make our claims more believable, and to add quotes.
Social Studies/History: In social studies we are learning about the Natives,
the European Vikings, and their timeline, the Ice Age.  We learned that
Christopher Columbus wasn’t the first one to discover America and that the
first Europeans to discover America were the Vikings.  We also learned about
what the Natives and the Vikings did to get to America.
