United Nations

Oh my goodness! I was so impressed with our 4th grade students today during Science/Social Studies/Literacy time. Wow! We teamed up with Mr. Smith's group of 4th graders (Smith/Kelly) to talk about what the United Nations is and does. Eventually, students will be given a country that they will need to research in order to find a problem they can create a solution for. Ask your kiddo what they learned about the United Nations. Then, we began an opinion writing: What do you think is the biggest problem facing the United States? They should be collecting facts and evidence tonight to finish writing tomorrow.

In our morning meeting, we shared the food we chose to eat if we could only eat one food for the rest of our lives. Then, we played a few rounds of Sparkle. (Meeting was planned today by Emmanuel, Lindey, Hayley and Hope.)

5th grade students worked to complete their Time Magazine Person of the Year articles-complete with cover! (They are so cool!) Some math students took their end of the unit test while others practiced and/or worked with Mrs. Tanner. In Mrs. Kelly's math class, they finished their Exemplar and worked on making improper fractions into mixed numbers. 4th grade math students in my room, wrote poetry about geometry, played some Mrs. L says, sorted uppercase alphabet letters by their attributes and played a type of Geometry "Uno" game. In Mr. Smith's class, they took notes and worked on shapes and figuring out the sum of the interior angles. Our day concluded with discussing upcoming SHARP awards, Columbus Blue Jacket reading and an essay contest from Hilliard Optimist.
