Hi room 5 families! We can't believe 2018 is almost over. We spent the last week of school together celebrating our hard work at exhibition and spending time with our high school and 5th grade buddies. Read on to see our week. Here we are decorating cookies! Thank yo to Ms. Wu for making this possible. We spent time with our 5th grade buddies who made us each a book about tools and strategies we can use to help us have grit and be flexible. We also spent some time making a gift for our parents. You'll have to wait to find out what it is! We also thought about what we would do to help Santa if he got stuck in a chimney! Our ideas ranged from buttering up the chimney to getting Santa's cellphone to call for help. We ended the week by making gingerbread houses.

Hi room 5 families! What an incredible exhibition! We are so proud of the hard work that the first graders did to put together their comic con. Below are some pictures of the process that helped us get to our final products. Many thanks to you for coming to support our superheroes! Below are highlights from our project. A special thank you to our 9th grade buddies from High Tech Media High for helping us critique our work and helping us cute out the materials for our superhero symbols. In math we have been working on finding the difference unknown (e.g., 12 + ____ = 32). We're exploring ways to represent numbers using base 10 and using the 100s chart. Below we are sharing our strategies with Ms. Dorrance. In Fundations we have been learning about glued letters (an, am) and how to use these letters when we write to build different words (e.g., ham, fan). We have also be learning about plurals and how sometimes an ending can sound like a /z/ but in English is is an /s/. We also learned about how sometimes some words have a double L, S, or F but that the double letters only make one sound (e.g., puff, miss, hill). These letters are called bonus letters. Next up we will be learning about more glued sounds (ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, and unk). Parents can support their student at home back asking them what type of sounds they hear when reading or writing tricky words (e.g., glued sounds, diagraphs, plurals).
