It started off with an assembly from a former Glenmont parent and inspirational speaker, Mr. John Robinson. Wow! This was such an incredible and eye opening discussion for all of us and we loved being reminded that what truly matters is what's on the inside, what's in our hearts. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Mr. Robinson!
In writing workshop we have been working hard at revising our realistic fiction stories. This is no easy feat and we've been spending a lot of time conferencing with different peers as well as reflecting on what has happened in each scene of our story...some key questions we ask ourselves are; where is the setting? Is there dialogue? Is there action? These types of things have been helping to guide us in our revision.
In math we are still in the place value unit. We have stretched our brains, thinking about place value relationships, comparing numbers, ordering numbers, and making organized lists. We have a topic test on Tuesday of next week.
In science we have been working hands-on with different minerals. We've performed many different tests to determine the different characteristics of each mineral. Color, streak, hardness, light, and magnetism are different ways that we can differentiate one mineral from another.
We had time to meet with our buddies on Thursday morning. The fourth graders were a big help in giving their buddy their spelling test for the week. We are looking forward to another fun activity coming up this week!
I look forward to meeting with more of you this week, have a great week ahead!
Mrs. Riegel
