5th Grade Math:
Today we reviewed how to find mean, median, mode, and range. It looks like we are going to need a bit more practice on this. :) This is one of the concepts that will be on the test, so I want to make sure that all of the students understand how to solve these problems. Tonight's homework is a worksheet, front and back, of problems asking students to find minimum, maximum, range, median, mode, and mean. They may use a calculator to find the mean only.

On a side note, I want to thank Sydney, Jailine, and Katie for helping me during recess to keep the room clean! I don't know what I would do without them! :)

2nd & 3rd Grade Read Naturally:
Congratulations to Kendal for finishing 12 stories from her folder! She was able to pick out a book to take home as well as the stories that she has been reading in class! Way to go!

Congratulations to Abbigail for completing 6 stories from her reading level! She earned a prize! Keep up the great work!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I will be updating you and keeping you informed about homework assignments as well as what we are doing in class.

5th Grade Math: We will be having a Math test in about a week. I will make sure to send home a Study Guide right before the test as well as let you know when the test will be.

4th Grade REWARDS: We are learning how to decode words. This will really be helpful when your child is reading big words and trying to sound it out.

2nd & 3rd Grade Read Naturally: We meet everyday. Each student has a folder with 12 stories in it. They choose which story to read and read key words from the story. Then, the child reads the story for the first time with me while I time them. We record this number and then the student practices the story at least 8 times. After they practice, I time then again, and we record this number. Once the student finishes the story, they get a sticker to decorate their folder. Six stickers earns a prize and 12 stickers earns a book to take home!
