Baby Wotipka was born Friday, November 12th 2010 at 6:17 p.m.
She weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces, and was 20 inches long!
Congratulations to the Wotipka Family!
This has been a week of transition! Congratulations to Ms. Wotipka and her husband on their new arrival of baby Frances, who came last Friday evening. She is doing well as a new mom. Meanwhile, the 5th graders and I have been getting to know each other and accomplishing some hard work at the same time.
Reading:
We read Woodsong by Gary Paulsen, a Minnesota author. This story connected well to last weeks story about dogsled racing. We worked on paraphrasing, or writing the same message while using different words.
Spelling:
Students are encouraged to visit WWW.SPELLINGCITY.COM to take advantage of interactive spelling practice with the words of the week. Simply go to the site and do a teacher name search by typing in my name-Eric Johnson.
Writing: We have begun our personal narrative unit. This unit connects well with the students because they practice telling and eventually writing true stories from their lives.
Math: Our geometry unit has really challenged the students. They have been drawing congruent triangles using a compass, categorizing polygons according to their properties, and measuring angles with protractors.
PYP: We have started our studies on Human Development. Thus far we have discussed the development of babies and children from birth to 5 years. Next week we will dive into adolescence.
Reminders:
·Colder weather means students need to dress appropriately with a jacket, hat, and mittens/gloves being required.
·In your Friday mail look for a letter on our poinsettia fundraiser. This will go to fund the ski trip later in the winter.
·Don’t forget to visit Mr. EJ’s Classroom Blog for a number of interesting links. The web address is:
Way to go Ms. Wotipka!
