We've been working together for several weeks now, and I can honestly say I'm happy I made the decision to move down to 6th grade!
As I have been observing my students work over the last month, I have been very impressed by how well you work together, in partnerships, and in teams. Students are speaking politely and in supportive tones to one another, and that is wonderful to see! For instance, I have seen students saying kind things about one another's work, as well as helping out when peers are confused about what to do. I have also noticed that most of you are willing to work with anyone; Many of you don't mind working with new people, and/or members of the opposite sex, and I haven't seen any of you refuse to work with another, which is very kind. Our room is a team right now! Woo!
This week, we have been focused on how scientists do what they do. Over the next two weeks, we will be performing a series of investigations and experiments to practice these strong scientific habits! You will notice your posters are being hung in the hallways; Your work helps other students remember how to be good scientists, and they are getting a lot of positive attention!
I'm proud of your work; Let's finish August strong!
