Happy Monday Everyone,

     I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday. I would like to thank everyone that participated in Teacher Appreciation Week. I loved the cooler from the class, all of the beautiful flowers and beautiful gifts. My favorite items were the thoughtful notes and emails that you sent. This has been a very different school year and I want you to know how much I appreciate your kindness and patience as we navigated the unknown waters of school during a pandemic. 

      As you know we will be completing our FSA testing this week for students in Group 2. Group 3 students will test next week. Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and a filling breakfast. Students will not have the opportunity for snack until after testing is complete around 10:30. Students will not have any homework this week. 

       

Career Day is Coming!!

     What do you want to be when you grow up? What are the jobs of your family members? Parents you can help us answer these questions by participating in this year's Virtual Career Day. Please log in to Flip Grid using your child's log in information and create a short clip telling us all about your fabulous careers. What skills are students learning now that are necessary for this job? (Math, Science, Language Arts) How important is it to be a team player? How do you handle due dates and deadlines? How and why did you choose your career? Feel free to include other important information about your job. We look forward to learning all about you and your career! 

We will have our Virtual Career Day during the week of May 17th. Please have your clip posted no later that the morning of May 17th. Please use the join code for your child's homeroom to respond to the topic.

     Students have homework assignments on the Freckle program this week. 

 Monday-Measurement Conversions  Thursday-Solve Problems Involving Time  These assignments are not due until Friday, however if students complete Monday night's homework on Monday it will give them an opportunity to review before the quiz on Tuesday. 

     If the STAR diagnostic pops up when students log in to do their homework, they should not complete the diagnostic at home. The district wants students to complete the STAR at school. 

     This week in science we will study heredity, instincts and learned behaviors. Students will learn that animals have sex cells that they inherit from both the male and female parent. We will also learn about learned behaviors and instincts in animals. Some things animals are born knowing how to do and some they have to be taught (learned behaviors) and some animals are born knowing how to do (instincts). 

                  

Monday: Math i-Ready-No i-Ready this week.. Freckle: Complete Measurement Conversion Homework. FSA Practice Sheets Pages 19 and 20 (due Friday).

     This week in math, we will study customary measurement. In module 2 we only covered metric units and conversions. Students have to identify appropriate units to use to measure various objects. For example an ounce would be the most appropriate unit to use for measuring the weight of a grape. An inch would be the unit to use for measuring the length of a pencil, while a mile would be the best unit to use for measuring the distance from JBE to Everbank Stadium.
