The Buddy System
The fifth-and sixth-grade students got together to build strong relationships that will last through their intermediate and high-school years at Mid-Pacific. They had time to share experiences and play games.
The students have finished their visual aids for their planet posters and are working on their oral presentations. They will be presenting their reports after they have reviewed the requirements that must be met to be an effective public speaker. They will now be doing inquiry into the properties of the sun. We watched an interesting film on the properties of the sun on the SmartBoard. In math we have started to investigate numbers in-between whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. Encourage the students to apply their knowledge of decimals in their everyday use of money, and take any chance you get to talk about fractions.
