Happy Tuesday!
Sorry no email until now...Monday had a long staff meeting and then a “mandatory” 49er game. Then this afternoon I had to rush home to watch the SF Giants win their playoff game.
On Monday -- we had our circle time to catch up on how they spent their four day weekends. Many students were able to make small trips to fun places and many soccer games were once again played. We also “ended” the debate of a biscuit or white, wheat, or sourdough toast. Being a good Bay Area class the sourdough toast won going away over the biscuit. While neither white or wheat were chosen much.
With math on Monday, students were given a protractor to borrow. We studied various quadrilaterals and wrote down their definitions.
We also completed another Liberty’s Kids and are further learning about the early conflicts with the American colonists and England.
We also had short conversations regarding these two recent articles in Time Magazine:
and
Today -- I had one of four 5th grade collaboration days that the district organizes. Provided there are ample enough substitute teachers, all of the 5th grade teachers in the district get together. We either a) learn something relevant to recent curriculum changes or b) we can share-out ideas and resources that other 5th grade teachers are using.
*FYI every grade will be doing this throughout the year therefore if you have other siblings, look for them to also have these all grade level meetings/trainings.
On a related and heroic note, Ms. Mitchell was our class’ substitute teacher today. She was rear-ended on here way to work however she inspirationally wanted to still teach today. Myself and the students were all blown away by her dedication and perseverance.
Camp meeting 6:30-7:30 on Thursday night. We still need a few more dedicated chaperones who can quickly get their fingerprinting done and their TB tests completed.
The first open-ended project of the year is due THURSDAY. It is meant to be challenging and it should reflect the 6+ weeks that were given to complete this assignment. I look forward to their presentations.
Book orders -- I’ll close this book order on November 3rd. The students should have brought home their catalogs on Monday. That catalog has stapled to it the special purchase $10 and earn $5 off of an additional book!!!!
