Last week in Room 28!


Sorry for the tardiness of this update. We moved our daughter, Makenna into a house with 5 roommates this weekend to begin her sophomore year at UC Santa Cruz! My son, Porter even came down from Berkeley to help my husband, Hailey and me! It was a lot of hard work, but it paid off and she now has a clean house, working lights, and an adorably decorated room. Check out the pictures below!



Progress Reports will be sent home on Friday, September 28th
You will have a week to review your child's report as well as soon graded assignments and tests.
The report needs to be signed and returned by October 5th.
Thank you!

Remember there is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, September 26th.





In Language Arts, we worked on making and analyzing inferences. Click on the file below to watch the PowerPoint if you need a refresher! We also used graphic organizers to determine the relationship between text clues and drawing conclusions. We read a story called Sleds on Boston Common and got really good at using the text clues and our amazing brains to draw conclusions!




In Math, We continued to work on dividing large numbers. Remember that the steps are exactly the same as single digit division! DMSB. Make sure you practice and master your multiplication facts. It will make division SO much easier!

In Science, We learned how to display our data on a Picture graph and how to plot our data into a two coordinate graph, making sure to always put the independent variable on the x axis and the dependent variable on the y axis! We are experts at controlled experiments and now know how to perform experiments that are fair and reliable! The test was moved to today, September 24th!






In Social Studies with Mrs. Gallo, they took their Preamble test and are continuing their study of the Constitution!









In Health with Mrs. Gallo they continued their studies of emotional Health, by discussing personalities and emotions! There will be a Health test on October 4th.






Students should be bringing their flash drives to and from school to work on their 5 Truths and a Lie PowerPoints!
There was so much creativity! I can't wait to see the final products!

Please remember to log on to ixl and Accelerated Reader.

Students should be logging  50 minutes per week on ixl, practicing grade level skills!

Students should be taking an "AR" test every two weeks. (Time will be extended for books that are longer and/or more difficult.)
