This week we are taking the NWEA tests on reading, math, and language. This is a good tool to use to see where the students are academically and to track their growth throughout the year. They are working hard and persevering through these tests.
Math -we are working on place value. Students are understanding and comparing place value in whole numbers and decimals.
Social Studies - We are learning about the geography of the United States and how to use various types of maps.
Procedures.. Procedures.. We are working hard learning the correct procedures of our classroom. We are getting to know each other as our "5th grade family". Respect, kindness, and organization are common themes in our room. As we work to be consistent with our routines, our classroom will run very smoothly.
I am loving getting to know your children! They each bring their own unique strengths and needs to our classroom which is fantastic. We are off to a great start.
Have a great day!
