Happy Friday GOT Team parents,
It looks like we are in for a nice stretch of warm weather. Hooray! Your son/daughter should have set up a time to meet with you to go over their goals on their Google slides and share a few samples of work from their purple folders. There is a paper in the back part of the folder for you to sign and return. Conferences with teachers will begin next Wednesday.
Here are a couple fun photos of the kids in action.
Conversation starters at dinner:

Who is the best person to have a conference with about your child’s education?
In language arts students are selecting a story idea to work on that they will bring to a final polished narrative. Prompt ideas that we have written in class were about: a person that matters to me, a place, a first time or last time that matters ex:( The last time I saw my grandmother at the hospital and said a sad goodbye. ) We are using the thesaurus to change verbs ( walk = sashay, traipse, trudge) We are adding onomatopoeia, dialogue and we are working on beginnings. Students are deciding to choose to start their stories with a question, dialogue, flashback, action, sound effect, or snapshot of a small moment.
Our poem of the week is Bleezer's Ice Cream by Jack Prelutsky. We took notes in our Reader's Notebooks about alliteration - a sentence or phrase that starts with the same letter or sound. EX: Morgan Mouse munched marshmallows merrily. Students are using alliteration to come up with fun ice cream flavors. (crazy creamy chocolate chip chunks.)
Mr. Smith Math

Challenge Choice- Week 10 (can you believe it?) Kids can choose between the regular Tang math packet and the challenge packet.

Reading Content: This week we worked on “theme” by watching a couple Pixar short films. Students then wrote what they thought the theme was and why (evidence from the film). We also continued reading “The Liberation of Gabriel King.”
Social Studies: We discussed our new map assignment. The kids will have two weeks to create their own maps. Map Assignment here is a link to the directions about this assignment. We also had fun playing Geography Kahoot! We read online in our Kids Discover lessons and complete some multiple choice questions.
