Monday, December 14th

As stated in Friday's blog post, students set a goal for what they wanted to accomplish this weekend with their projects.  Additionally, they were supposed to share their progress with parents and get a signature.  If you were not able to check your child's work this weekend, please do so and sign their agenda or project form.  

As I stated to students during class and to parents in the blog last week, 5th graders are working on the IB Transdisciplinary skill of self-management.  This skill is essential in all areas of life and I will be encouraging students to improve over the course of this year.  

During ELA we continued working on fluency by reading Gathering Blue.  During social studies we looked at several sources to find facts about how William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt's actions increased America's influence at the turn of the last century.  Students will be able to use those notes to complete the study guide.
