Another good two months in this year's books for Sarah...
Her spelling test grades are excellent every week.
She enjoys art and creative projects when they are given the opportunity to do them at school. She does not always enjoy group projects though because just like with any group project there is always someone who does not want to work, someone who may be too bossy, or people who just can't get along well with others. She will have to continue to learn to work in small and large groups and adjust to different personalities as she continues on in school and life.
She works hard and does well in math.
Her math test grades are always excellent as well.
For Valentines Day she picked to reuse a Valentine box we made for her to use in the 3rd grade. This time around we added 4 Sarahs to the box though.
Eric did a study at home with our kids about rocks and the Earth, and she learned some of the same things at school over the past couple of months.
In music class each 5th grader had to use a red solo cup and compose a piece of music using the cup. They had to write out their song/music and perform it for the teacher and class for a grade.
Sarah did "Satisfactory" on her Red Cup Composition piece. After looking at her final product (above) and the teacher's score sheet (below), I am still baffled as to where/why she lost 3 points???
Sarah has been a part of her school's Student Council for the last few months. She was selected by a panel of teachers to participate and help make her school better and she gets to help with extra projects around the school during school hours.
The girls and I went to a school skating party at the local roller skating rink in March. Both girls are doing better at skating. It is not something that we do very often.
Below, Sarah's totem pole that she made towards the beginning of the year. It has been on display in the hallway outside her classroom and then was displayed at the district art fair in March.
Below, are her three totem descriptions....
She did well on the 5th grade Woodwind and String Test in music class.
States of matter were taught.
She enjoyed, and got lots of laughs, out of the project below, "Puzzling Portraits". Each student had to write a description of themselves, but leave their name out. Then the descriptions were mixed up and passed out to other students. From the description each student had to try to draw a portrait.
The end of the 3rd nine weeks came around and report cards were sent home. Sarah continued her streak of all A's and S's. Great job, Sarah!
