Hello,
It is hard to believe how fast all of this is wrapping up. I'm trying my best to get everything accomplished that we need to do. We won't be doing a couple of the nearby jaunts that other classrooms will be doing, but there are positives and negatives to having me as a teacher, depending on your perspective.
Pat came in and helped us with our final spelling test and a review of the Daze reading test. She has been a great help this year, and I know the kids appreciate her as much as I do. She brought cookies today, which brought out even more appreciation.
We tackled area of triangles today in math. Our homework didn't reflect that, only because I don't think they quite grasp it on their own. Right triangles were easy to understand. Obtuse triangles were the toughest to grasp. We'll get back at it tomorrow, and three more times next week.
We reviewed the digestive system in science and then jumped back to the nervous system. Eye sight was the major topic, continuing our understanding of how our brain sends and receives signals. We discovered our blind spot and looked at some illusions. Our Q & A sessions for every topic are so long, I just want to hug them all for their curiosity. And I don't hug.
I'm hoping we get to some Jeopardy for review of major 4th and 5th grade topics tomorrow. If not, there is always next week.
Have a good night.
Mr. Shea
