It is an OPEN BOOK test as the students are required to put the page number of where they found the answer.  One purpose of this assessment is to reinforce the concept of backing up your answers with proof.   This concept can be hard for some (especially when they just 'know' the right answer :)  but the correct page number is required to receive full credit for the answer.  We will continue with this testing tomorrow in class.

They are to finish the sidebars for the remaining sections for homework. This is found on page 20 of their notebook.

They don't understand the  pressure it is sometimes to be up there and get a word and completely blank-yikes!

Hi families,
I am sure your kids already told you that I was out sick the past two days so they didn't have too much homework. I am for the most part much better but still in quite a bit of pain in my back, so I am sitting a lot.
However they are still doing a fabulous job of following expectations :)

ELA Homework:
Finish drawing pictures of each word on pg 18 of ISN (notebook)

Science:
Choose a city outside of AZ and find the weather forecast for their chosen city. Record on Pg 13 of ISN (notebook)

As always, if you have questions feel free to ask! Thank you for your continued support!

ELA and Haehl Science

Hello! We almost made it through the third week already! I hope this week has been as great as ours has. Just a reminder, tomorrow is a half day, ending at 12:05!

ELA- We started taking a look at how to analyze a story and look at why the author chose as he did. There was not any homework today other than catch up. However I will be collecting notebooks tomorrow to grade their writing from Wednesday. We also have a test tomorrow about The Ravine.

Science- We have started our Weather and Water unit! This a fully hands on curriculum that puts science in their hands. Today was interesting. We are going to come back to it tomorrow and see if we can figure out the confusion. There was not any homework tonight. Just a quick FYI< students will be choosing a different city/country/state to look at their weather nightly and update the class on.  A good website to look at for this information is https://weather.com/. It includes most if not all the information they will need.

Tomorrow is Friday so there will not be any homework!

Thanks for being great! Have a great weekend!

Stewart- Social Studies/ Science

Social Studies= No Homework.... however, the geography terms packet will be due soon.  Your child should be on page three.... AT LEAST!!!!

Science- No homework.  We started Weather and watched a video about the difference between Weather and Climate.


And the winner is.......

Ms. Haehl... for most consistent use of our homework website!!  Way to go, Ms. H!

I apologize for not getting going on this. When no homework is given I forget to enter any information at all.  In Social Studies we have been busy with our Geography Terms (Land forms)  packet. Today we are going to go over a worksheet that is an introduction to What a Historian Does. Next week we will begin our Pre-History unit.

In Stewart Science we have worked on Dependent and Independent Variables and will be starting on our major question of the Fall semester: What is Weather? We will explore different instruments that meteorologists use and some of the why and how weather and climate affect our lives.

Thank you for checking in.

Haehl Update

Today did not go as planned.. Not as much got done as I had hoped... So as far as notebook check on Monday, I will be checking pages 7-11. They need to be complete.

Homeroom- We ran out of time with our science project so we did not get to passing out all of the needed papers. I will get those to them on Monday. I am sorry for the confusion!

ELA and Haehl's Science

I am so sorry for the delay in sharing yesterday's homework! We had an awesome curriculum night full of information for our wonderful parents. If you were unable to attend we will be sending home a few things today that you will want to get from your student, so please ask them about those! If you have any questions about any of the things we send home, please feel free to ask.

Yesterday, there was not any homework for ELA or Haehl's science since we finished it in class and we had curriculum night, which made for a late evening already.

There is no homework tonight either unless they need to make up work from this week. I will be doing notebook checks on Monday. This is a grade. They should have pages 7-12 complete by then (both ELA and Science for Haehl's homeroom). Most of this has been done in class so if they were here everyday, it should be done or close to done already :)

Next week we will be continuing with The Ravine, taking a deeper look into the plot development and how the plot effects the character's development. In science, we will be jumping into the "Weather and Water" FOSS kit which explores the why and how behind water. This unit will continue throughout the semester.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you and have a fantastic weekend!

ELA Homework- No science homework for Haehl HR

Today we previewed and then started reading the story The  Ravine. They asked 3 questions about the story before we read, and as we read they were to be answering the questions we asked. We did not have enough time to check out questions after reading one of the pages. So they are to review the questions they wrote and see if they can answer any of their questions. They may not be able to answer all of them since we did not finish the story yet.

Tomorrow we have RI pre-testing to find out their lexile levels. Therefore there will not be homework tomorrow for ELA class.

What a great first week we have had!  On the first three days of school your children helped the kindergartners and first graders at lunch. They were wonderful role models and Ambassadors.

In Social Studies we worked on Latitude and Longitude and began a packet of geography terms.  On Friday they took a pre-test of material we will cover in 6th grade.  It will be awesome to see how much they will have learned by May!

Thursday night is Curriculum Night.  Look for flyers to come home.  We will meet in the cafeteria for ice cream at 5pm, then proceed to a parent meeting regarding our new Title 1 status, afterwards all three teachers will discuss our 6th grade curriculum.  We will end the night with an overview of our annual trip to Camp Surf in April.

Thank you for sharing your children with us this year.  See you on Thursday!!
