Dear 5W Parents and Students:
Happy New Year! I hope that your family had a wonderful Christmas. Students are writing about their holidays and I am looking forward to reading their stories on the weekend.
Here is a brief overview of our week:
Science--Everyday in class students are spending some time working on their Science Fair projects. By now most students have gathered their supplies and are ready to start their experiments at home or at school. I will be available after school on Monday 13th and Thursday 16th from 3:15-4:15 for students who wish extra help or time working on their Science Fair projects in our classroom . Parents are welcome to drop by during these times if they have any questions also. Please let me know how I may support your child with their Science Fair project. Again, the Science Fair Week is from February 3-6th.
Physical Education --Mrs.Redfern is teaching our students how to Scottish Dance. I am impressed by the great enthusiasm of our students who are learning new dance steps this week.
Social Studies-- Students have been reading about Nelson Mandela and South Africa. In third term, students will learn more about South Africa in a fun, informative, and interesting unit.
Math--Students have been learning about mental math solutions and how to use different kinds of estimating strategies. Also, students will be learning different kinds of graphs as this may help them with their Science Fair projects.
Blessings,
Mr.Wu
