We have had a great first few days in Grade 5.
The students are responding well to my discipline and reward system. They are all working well.
We will have our first class meeting this afternoon, and will have one at least every month.
In Math we have begun the first unit on Place Value, finding the place and value of numbers up through the billions. In English we have started appreciating poetry – reading and responding to it. They also wrote some great poems. Today we have gone over the writing process and they have started a descriptive writing assignment.
Please ask your child the following questions over the weekend to reinforce class time –
1. 350,000 – What is the place and value of the number 5 ?
2. What are the steps in the Writing Process ?
3. What did you do in your class meeting today ?
