Just want to let you know what's up in Room 6 for the new year! We will be reviewing and going deeper into fractions. We will be learning about equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and answering word problems with fractions for the next couple of weeks. I may try something new with math homework next week. Be on the look out for it.
We are just beginning a new writing unit, informative writing. The kids had to choose a topic they are passionate about, they will research it, and then write an article about it.
We're in the middle of a health unit on bones and muscles. Next, we will be moving into science!
Have you heard about our robots???? We have a Sphero named Orbie and a Recon Robot named Rover. The kids are very excited to learn how to operate and code these guys. I have them divided into teams and we will soon begin exploring with them!
I've just begun Junior Great Books with the entire class. These are stories that lend themselves to deep, critical thinking! I'm excited to hear what the kids have to say, questions they have, and the evidence they find. These are great books and we're blessed to have the opportunity to experience them together!
