5th Grade Class 9/11/18

This afternoon, we began class with a  video about fungi. Then, the students took notes about fungi and were instructed to draw an environment that includes  5 fungi and 5 plants. If they did not finish this in class, they will need to work at home. I will be signing the notes and the drawing tomorrow. While the students worked, I met with each to check his or her science fair introduction.

This afternoon, we discussed the science fair assignments that is due tomorrow. Then, we read pages 38-39 of the textbook. We had a lot of good discussion about the plant kingdom and the fungi kingdom. After reading, we took notes on the plant kingdom.

This morning in class, I checked the summaries they did in class yesterday. We discussed what they learned yesterday and then watched a video on vertebrates and invertebrates. We ended class with notes.

This afternoon in class, I returned the science fair research documents, and I met with each student to discuss his or her grade on exam 1. I wrote the exam grade in the back of the child's notebook. While I was meeting, the students were required to read pages 36-39  in the textbook and write a 2 paragraph (or more) summary of what they learned. I will be checking this for points tomorrow.

What a great class today! We went over the Lesson 1 Review they completed yesterday/today in class and then I introduced the cell organelle superhero project and the students began their rough draft. I am so excited to see these! They are so creative! We will continue to work on this tomorrow in class.
