Field trip tomorrow and don't forget to study MATH!

Homework:  Review/revise for math and science test on Friday.  Get lunches and wet-able clothing ready for tomorrow morning.
-----------------------------------------In class ------------------------------------------------------------
We completed our math study guide today.  In small groups, I am revising with students who have 'red' or 'yellow' on some standards.  They are doing such a great job of traffic lighting their work, although they still seem nervous sharing if there is a concept they don't know verbally.

Being able to say "I don't know" is such a strength!  Students are learning to be the leaders in their education...to have the understanding to know what they need help with and to be confident enough to ask for help.  I notice some students color code well but then do not come to small group support when offered.  I am trying to 'find them out' before Friday's end of year math test.

I have also had some great discussions where students share that they talk at home about what they don't understand and family members (even big brothers, sisters or cousins) are taking time help out.  BIG HUGS for all your support!
 
However....if you find your student truly does not understand a concept, please let me know by using those 'red' and 'yellow' circles (or the words).

Here is to a great field trip tomorrow.  I am looking forward to getting very wet and seeing all the little creatures we find living in the inlet!

Have a good Wednesday....
