TGIF!

This was the longest week ever! However, it went really well and we accomplished a lot.

After special, we had a brief Arrow Team meeting. First, we went through the lost and found as it was completely overflowing! Then, we discussed the upcoming SHARP award nominations that are due by Thursday morning. (SHARP awards are a chance for students to nominate other students.) We talked about hallway behaviors and how we need to remember to stay quiet in the halls, especially next week when the 6th graders are taking MAP tests. Finally, we had a great discussion about our upcoming Invention Convention. In our class meeting, we shared what we hope to do in the snow this weekend! and Justin shared with us about his trip to Tokyo, Japan.

4th grade students continued researching their Ohio inventors and writing resumes for them. We also practiced our invention vocabulary with a fun "jam" game. In math, we finished up our work with our elapsed time Disneyland task and money conversions. 5th graders completed their rough drafts of their personal article for their 2030 Person of the Year issue and more sound experiments. In math, they kept on working towards securing their understanding of multiplication and division of fractions.

After lunch and OUTDOOR recess (heat wave!), we worked on completing a reflection of our week to share with you while I read, UNgifted. Today, Donovan arrived at the gifted academy and was introduced to some of his very gifted (and quirky!) classmates.
