Just wanted to let you know that the kids received two new projects this week. Both will be completed in class (mostly), but they may need your support at times at night.
Math: Vacation Destination!
Students in 5A will be using their newly minted estimation skills to plan and budget a trip to Florida! The assignment will require researching online costs including flights, hotel and attractions. Students will be required to use a variety of estimation strategies taught in class to complete the assignment. Class time will be provided to complete all elements of this assignment, but many of the kids will want to work on this at home as well.
ELA: Personal Narrative
Our hard work building proper sentences and strong paragraphs has now moved us to the point where we are ready to write our first personal narratives! Strong authors always write about what they know best -- so our students will be writing about--- THEMSELVES! I have broken down the assignment into manageable steps with a concrete plan to complete. I will also be giving students class time to work on the project, but some student may need additional time/support at home with re-writes or edits. I am hoping to have the kids share their narratives on their blogs as well! A fun writing activity!
