Please be sure that you have your skit fully written by Monday’s class, at which time you should be practicing and making props.
I will want to see your draft so that you can make corrections. EVERYONE in your group must have a copoy.

Your reflection for this class needs to be emailed to me by next Tuesday at: shahn@lrei.org

Think about all the work you’ve done in class this year. Please respond to each of the statements/questions below:

1. In what ways has your work improved this year? Describe the differences you see between the beginning of the year and now.

2. What areas still need work? How do you plan to work on them next year?

3. What ways do you learn best? Select 1 or 2 pieces of work that you did this year of which you are particularly proud.

4. What have you discovered about yourself as a learner this year?

5. What areas do you still need to work on improving?

6. Comment on the quality and organization of your work.

Start working on your Math Reflection.  The draft is due Friday.  The prompts to get you started are:

How would you describe yourself as a math student?  Think of these areas: listening, contributing, asking questions, being a patient and helpful group member, doing your best on assignments, being organized, asking for help when you need it, sticking with difficult problems.
Think of a typical day in class. What strengths do you bring to the class?  When are you most confident?  What activities are difficult for you?  Why?
How have you changed since the beginning of the year?
What goals have you achieved?
What challenges have you overcome?  How did you overcome these challenges?
What is still a challenge for you?
What are your goals for next year?

HOMEWORK DUE: Friday, May/30

• Write the first draft of the report card comment.
• Click on:
  • The 5th Gr Projects & Skills List for an overview of the lists and skills we worked on this year.
  • The Student Report Prompts for questions and helpful prompts to write the assignment.
• You must:
  1. Come to class with a printed copy of the assignment
  2. Save it on the server:
  • • CLASS SHARED -> Middle School -> Science -> 5th Grade ->Report Card Comments -> (H5 or W5)
    • If you have problems putting it on the server you can e-mail it to me before it’s due to sacosta@lrei.org and I’ll do it for you
      • Make sure you get a response from me saying “I got it”. If you don’t get that it means I have not gotten it.

• • It will count as not prepared and therefore receive a HW slip if you don’t have the paper copy or it’s not on the server.

GUIDELINES (Read Carefully)

• Must be typed
• Double space the writing (come see me or ask a parent if you don’t know how to do it)
• Must include all the information on the handout.
• Must do a spell check and review it before  you hand it in.

Print out and complete this TRUE/FALSE worksheet.  Feel free to work on it with a classmate.  Be sure to explain and justify all your answers.  Your evidence does not need to be long, but it does need to be clear and convincing.  Use your polygon cards, notes, and the glossary of your shapes and designs book to help you.

(Due Friday)
