A lot has been going on since Spring Break! Our 5th graders have made their decisions for next year. We had a Fun Run to raise money for the school. We also had an Open Mic on Monday! Video link is above! {note - Video link is oriented horizontally for some reason... I am consulting my "experts" and taking it down until I resolve this on youtube. however, high quality working copies are available on request]
In our math integration, the students are learning about supply and demand and how they influence price. As a case study, students are tracking $2000.00 worth of equities they "purchased" over the course of this week. Concepts include a four-quadrant coordinate plane, converting percentages, and absolute value. Students also are researching their companies via financial websites.
In reading and writing workshop, we continue to refine our persuasive writing. We are also learning to find reputable sources to support our assertions and will be learning to properly cite those sources (MLA style citations and bibliography) this week in preparation for the Exhibition which begins in.. less than two weeks!!
Students will receive their summative assignments for this unit tomorrow. We will have an Exhibition presentation (general information and expectations) and aprents will receive a copy of the slideshow and other documents next week.
