I apologize that the Friday update is a little tardy- I am not sure where the week went, I also did not take any pics last week, I will get some to you in the next Friday update!
Science Fair has really taken off. I really really stressed that the kids pick a topic that they are passionate about because they will be working with this topic all the way into March, so I told them "If you can wake up in the morning with a smile about what you are working with, then you have the right topic" :)
In math we had a "review" week to freshen their skills! We did a lot of different math games to get them back in the groove! Next week (well this week now...) we started algebraic expressions!! They are doing well so far! Their comments this week "Miss Koch, is math really this easy?" "Yes, yes it is" :)
We will start vocab flashcards this week and review math concepts so that we can avoid simple mistakes on NESA.
We had the spelling bee on Thursday, and congratulations go to Luke and Drew!!! One of Luke's last words was "cerebellum" I like to think I had a part in him knowing how to spell it.... GREAT job Luke and Drew!!!!
Reading- they will start their Benchmark testing this week. Mr Nichols and I have been pulling them out in the hallway to assess over fluency, and they will take the computer part during library.

Ok, now off to science fair info- I am SO PROUD of the students and how they are following their timelines. Thank you so much for the support from home, this would not happen without your presence! They are doing an awesome job keeping organized!-Students need to bring in $2.50 for their science fair boards
-Interview is due next Wednesday
Guidelines for the Interview:
The kids have to ask 5
questions about their experiment. They need to ask a professional in their
experimental field. Ex. Interview someone from a nursery if working with
plants.
They need to write the date, name, job title, place of employment on
the bottom of interview.
-The students may have colored pictures on the Title page or colored
graphs to help read data. Font size should be 12 or 14, nothing
else except on Title page. The research section of their paper
be 1 ½ – 2 pages typed.
Email me with any questions!
