 Hey Families!


Please take some time to read the blog this week with some important information. I have also added a sign up for the Fall Party this Friday.


Student Health Screening

Click here for a checklist of symptoms and situations to keep a focused eye on this year. The teachers are logging daily health checks, as well. We are doubling down on health and wellness in efforts to protect our ability to meet for in-person learning. Thank you for your cooperation on this. 

FALL PARTY

Our classroom Fall party is this coming Friday October 30th. Though this year will be different, I still want your students to be able to celebrate and have fun! Below is a sign up sheet for some items. Please donate what you can it will be very appreciated!

Fall Party Sign Up

Your student will still be able to dress up (dressing up is optional)! Please make sure your student's costume is comfortable as they will need to wear it all day during our regular learning activities (rather than changing into it like they've done in previous years). Costume masks will not be allowed this year; as in previous years, gore and weapons are not allowed.

This week's learning:

ELA: Students this past week practiced reader's theater and had a blast! Each group will have an opportunity to perform Monday.  This week we will move to our next unit determining text importance and identifying sequence of events. While we are moving on from our main idea and detail unit, this is a topic that we continue to circle back to every week.

Writing: Your students have been working very diligently on their imagined narratives. Last week we finished up our introductory paragraphs and have been working on developing our characters and hinting at our problem. This week, we will be planning out the rest of our story including the problem and the solution.

Math: We are entering into our last week of our first math unit. Your student will come home with a study guide on Thursday; please take some time to review the Unit 1 home links and the study guide with your student before their test on Monday November 2.

Monday: Lesson 1-11: Exploring properties of points, line segments, lines and rays.
Tuesday: Lesson 1-2: Learning about properties of angles, triangle and quadrilaterals
Wednesday: Lesson 1-13: Develop a formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle.
Thursday: Unit 1 Study Guide comes home.
Friday: Review day

Science/Social Studies: This week we are learning how sound vibrations are actually *waves* that travel through the air. We will see direct evidence of this by watching videos taken in slow motion and special lighting.


Have a great week!

Mr. Hernandez

Entries are due by Friday 1/29. Valentine's Day:   February 14th is approaching fast and, of course, things this year will be a little different.  It just so happens that the 14th is on a Sunday this year and students do not have school on Friday the 12th or on Monday the 15th. So, hold off on the candy and packaged valentines, here is the plan... During the week of February 8 - 11, our Positivity Project (P2) activities will be focused on "Love."  Their definition of love is that you value close relationships with others and being close to people. The character strength of love represents the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people with whom we have close relationships.  Our class will...
