<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Just wanted to check in! Hope you're doing well!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">-Please note I have fixed the ST Math link- this is the only website that students <b>MUST</b> login through the "Class Link" tab on the Middleboro homepage in order to play. They must use their full email to sign in:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">(28lastnamefirstnamemiddleinitial@middleboro.k12.ma.us) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Then, find and </span><span style="font-size: medium;">click on the ST Math app box. For iPads and phones, it will prompt you to open the app, and then it will automatically sign students in. You CANNOT sign in to the ST Math app without going through the Middleboro site FIRST. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">-On Google Classroom I have posted TWO class codes- one for Mr. M's Music Class and another for Flocabulary assignments. Try out the Flocabulary activities! Let me know what you think! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">-Students: Feel free to send me a message on Google Classroom if you need anything or just want to say hello! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">-Bruin and Flo are doing great! :) Anyone else's pets glad they've been home so much? LOL</span><br />

I hope you all remain healthy and safe. Below I’ve posted some valuable online resources as well as ideas for learning. NONE of the assignments posted will count toward grades- it is just optional, additional enrichment practice! MANY of the online resources can be accessed through the “ClassLink” tab on the <a href="https://www.middleboro.k12.ma.us/">Middleboro Public Schools homepage</a>. Students sign in using their MPS login. Please email me if you need support.</span><br />
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Math</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If your child doesn’t have internet access, practice solving the four operations (multiplication, division, subtraction, addition). Practice multiplication and division facts 1-12. Think about measurements and fractions when baking and apply real world applications the best you can!</span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.pearsonrealize.com/index.html#/"><span style="font-size: large;">Pearson Realize</span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> - This is our core resource for math instruction and learning. We are currently finishing up Topic 10 (Multiplying Fractions) and beginning Topic 11 (Line Plots). I will post videos and online practice problems for students to review these skills. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.middleboro.k12.ma.us/">ST Math</a> *</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- This is another core resource for student learning. Online math puzzles are correlated with grade 4 standards. Student progress is tracked based on individualized puzzle completion. We use this program for about 90 minutes a week in the classroom, so I highly recommend! *The ST Math Link will bring you to the Middleboro Public Schools homepage. Students MUST login through the "Class Link" tab in order to play. They CANNOT login directly through the website or app. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Reading</span></b></div>

<div>
<a href="https://www.getepic.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Epic!</span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- This online source has TONS of books and is available for free during school hours. It’s a great independent reading source and offers everything from audiobooks to graphic novels! We use this in the classroom frequently too! </span></div>

<div>
<a href="https://www.discoveryeducation.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Discovery Education</span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Our core science program. I have posted a few videos/readings based on our current learning about energy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Here's the learning update:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">In WRITING, students have just published their first poem, uniqueness reflection, and even a letter setting goals. We are building writing stamina through a variety of quick writes and reflecting on the independent writing atmosphere. As we develop more seed ideas in our writer's notebook, students will choose a personal narrative topic by the end of the week. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">In WORD STUDY, we have finished assessing students knowledge of high frequency words and students are being introduced to the word study process. In addition, we have just started studying our first set of vocabulary words.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">In MATH, students have taken a placement test in addition to finishing Topic 1: Place Value. We have practiced reading, writing, expanding, and rounding numbers through a variety of activities, videos, and quick checks. Students have learned the expectations for fluency games and continue to build their fact fluency and mental math through warm-ups. Students have also started to use ST math as well as Pearson Realize (our core online math program). We will be assessing on Topic 1 this week and starting math centers next week! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">In ELA, we continue to read aloud many different types of texts to build students' knowledge of genre and theme. We have learned about the expectations of the reader's workshop model and continue to reflect on the idea of "Reading Thinking" and the different types of thoughts we have while we read. Students are learning how to jot thinking on sticky notes and express their independent reading by writing letters. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">In SCIENCE, we have completed a few STEM activities, in addition to a scientific method experiment. Students have learned what science is, it's importance and how to conduct an experiment. We just started our first earth science unit on landforms. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Science: </u>We will finish up our Discovery Ed animal reading and activity-about shelter and defense. Students will be wrapping up their understanding of animals and adaptations by creating and presenting a power point. We will also do a Mystery Science activity on camouflage. </span></div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;">Learning this Week:</span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Math:</u> We will continue to practice and challenge our thinking with geometry. Students will be creating "town maps" and "stained glass windows" while applying all of our geometry terms. In addition, we are reviewing standards and skills for MCAS and mastery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Science:</u> Students will be presenting the animal creation projects. We will also each be picking a specific animal to research and study. We will report our information by creating a power point presentation. </span>Miss Stebbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05171818280782942483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109861532807682059.post-48412936644410052602018-04-24T07:57:00.000-07:002018-04-24T07:57:05.225-07:00Week of 4/23<span style="font-size: large;">Good Morning!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Math: We just started topic 16 (Geometry). Students will be learning and using many geometric terms to describe shapes. We will be classifying triangles and quadrilaterals based on their sides and angles in addition to reviewing previously learned concepts as we prepare for MCAS next week. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Science: Students will be creating a creature to survive in an imaginary habitat based on real-life animal adaptations. They will be drawing and labeling the animal based on its survival needs. We will also be picking animals to research and present on using power-point and reliable sources. </span><br />
