Test Review
I'll provide students with one last test review before our systemwide GMADE tests next week.
GMADE
I'll introduce students to the best strategy for this test, and then let them take the test peacefully. When complete they'll have the chance to read books that interest them.
Valentine's Day Math
I've planned a sweet math vocabulary and concept review activity.
Portfolios/Homeroom Days
We'll spend the last day prior to vacation and first day after the February vacation preparing portfolios for upcoming parent/student/teacher conferences.
Fraction Study
I'll integrate multiple previous concepts into our study of fractions after vacation including multi-step problem solving, line plots, number lines, model making, measurement, polygons, volume, and math project work. As much as possible I'll include "maker math" learning opportunities since making in math is engaging, deep, and evidence of good teaching/learning.
February Vacation
A good time to catch up on life.
