I am wondering

Today's greeting had to do with the word we have chosen.
We thought about our word and a describing word to say in what manner we would act out the word.
"My word is mindful and I am thinking I need to be observantly mindful." This is what I want to do for February.

Here is what we shared after discussing with our friends:

Silently unique
Carefully expressive
Encourage them to feel better
teach someone to be athletic
Mathematically curious
Rely on God
Benevolently generous
Thoughtfully decisive
Brave to try new things
Athletically helpful
Connector with deeper thoughts
Artistically unique
Taking part in the work: independently helping other
More creative like God was creative
I am going to challenge myself to physical and mental tasks
Carefully reliable
Collaboratively working
Multilingual through practice
Being encouraging by what I say
Reliable: I want to help people rely on me when they don't know what to do
Mindfully flexible or generously flexible
Intentionally Observant: If you don't try hard to look for something
Sneakily Benevolent
Mathematical not just leaving a math question blank
Synthesize ideas in STEAM
Focus this moth on being someone who can explain new ideas
Athletically challenging
Bold and strong when things are hard
Cautiously daring: do more but I don't want to push myself over the limit so I can't do it anymore
Truthfully caring
Faithfully accomplishing
Cautiously honest
Engaging in school work

Students studied the rules for possessive nouns.  The placement of that little apostrophe changes everything! Students created cartoons that demonstrate the difference between singular and plural possessives. Here are a couple things we noticed about their work: The students' drawings are creative. Each student's idea is unique. Students have been completing projects in math. Fourth grade students are ordering fractions on a number line.   The fifth graders are working hard, too. Fifth graders are learning good note taking skills and are using that skill to inform their understand of reciprocals and the inverse property. All of this is part of their study of fraction multiplication and division. Students went to free cone day!

Have you ever used the Egyptian method for large digit multiplication? How about the Mayan? Did you know there were different algorithms and methods for solving these types of problems? Fifth grade math students did some research and created displays on algorithms from around the world. Students have been refining and improving their accuracy and efficiency with the United States standard algorithm   During our course of study, the Investigations curriculum asks the students to use at least two ways to solve multi digit multiplication problems. Many have relied on the box method. Because of this study of world algorithms, we have seen the students pick up more strategies to bring to their mathematical problem solving.
