Room 26 Crew Families! How about that bit of sunshine we got today. Finally! We raise kids who love to go outside, so after being cooped up for the past week, you'll be happy to know that after a chance of a little rain tomorrow the forecast looks like mostly sunshine for the next few weeks! As you may have heard, parts of the walkways flood on rainy days so it's always a great idea to send them in boots when it rains so they're ready for the elements :) Here's what's going on this week: ANNOUNCEMENTS
WHAT ARE WE EXPLORING THIS WEEK? Here's a little bait to get your learner talking about the day :)
TEACHING TIP OF THE WEEK This research/genius project will offer successes and failures along it. All part of learning! Your learners will learn when topics are too broad or too narrow. They'll learn to take notes. They'll learn to transfer notes. They'll learn to write a bibliography. They'll learn to dissect non-fiction texts. Ask them what they're learning about their topic and perhaps help them hone in on subtopics that may intrigue them through simple dinner conversations :) Room 26 Crew Families!
I hope you enjoyed your long weekend! Getting right down to the nitty gritty... ANNOUNCEMENTS

TEACHING TIP OF THE WEEK With all the media outlets and places to get information these days, young learners are finding it tougher and tougher to differentiate paid content from fact from opinions and more! As you watch the news coverage and/or come across commercials/pieces of literature that fall in these categories, have an open conversation with your learner about how to differentiate! While it won't be a one and done lesson, it's great for them to have exposure and start being able to peel back the layers. Room 26 Crew Families!
Happy New Year! How exciting it was to see your learners again today and hear what they did over break! They seemed excited to be back and share stories with friends :). Here we go--last semester of 5th grade! ANNOUNCEMENTS

TEACHING TIP OF THE WEEK We're heading into fractions next week! Start finding fractions in real life (egg cartons, dinner plates, desserts, restaurants, while cooking, etc.). Look for parts of wholes then talk about equivalent fractions--try this by cutting sandwiches into smaller parts to show equivalence! Brush up on multiplication facts to help. |
