small medium large Happy New Year! Many of my students came back with new shoes, boots and haircuts. They are growing! I am glad to have them back ready to learn for the second half of the year! Our first field trip is February 12th to the Challenger learning center where we will be going on the mission "Rendezvous with a Comet". It is a space simulation where the children participate and run the mission as if they are at mission control and up in space in a shuttle. They each have jobs to do and need to work as a team to make sure their mission is successful. We will be preparing for our mission during January in the classroom. I would like to have 3-4 parent volunteers to help supervise each fifth grade class. If you can help me out on February 12 it would be much appreciated. Please let me know so I can plan our trip. Thank you in advance! Enjoy your week-end! Mrs. Swearingen Classroom activities: Reading: We are reading the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. We did an author study on Gary Paulsen and found he likes to write about adventure and life experiences. He has quite a colorful past to draw his ideas from and uses flashback and foreshadowing in much of his writing. Math: We will review addition and subtraction of fractions and will move on to graphing. Bar graphs, percent circles, stem and leaf plots and line plots will all be discussed and practiced. Science: The moon is our subject this week along with job applications and Challenger Space Shuttle research to give us background for our mission. We will be preparing to go to the Challenger Learning Center on February 12- 5S a.m. 8:30-12 and 5T p.m. 11:30-2:30. I will need parent volunteers for both classes to help navigate our mission. Please let me know if you are interested in flying on the Rendevous with a Comet misson with us.
