Week of February 15th-19th
We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend in observance of President's Day!
Message from Ms. Tiberio:
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all of the cards, welcome back posters, treats, and flowers that I received last week. I knew that these kids would rally for me and support me during this difficult time. The amount of hugs I received was overwhelming but exactly what I needed. I was fortunate to have my family by my side this weekend for Matt's services. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.
Thank you for all of the Valentine treats! Yummy! Students enjoyed passing out Valentine's on Friday!
Both classes will have Media this week, so please be sure to return any library books so students can check out new ones.
Academics:
ELA:
We will continue our Writing Practice this week with an Informative Prompt. Our students are doing such an amazing job on the writing! I hope they have brought home pieces to share with you!
Due to the short week we will not have vocabulary. I have carried over some work jobs from last week. RRJ's with chats due this week. Vocabulary readers will be due on Friday as well. We will have a variety of activities to reinforce standards this week.
Please make sure your child is going on Achieve 3000 at home to complete at least 2 lessons.
Bin of Happiness winners for last week were Mackenzie and Atlanta. This week's phrase is "Kindness Matters."
Math: The students have had plenty of time to review multiplying & dividing fractions, we will finish up the remaining Module 4 lessons this week and will test on Module 5 on Friday. There will be no daily math quiz this week. We will review all concepts throughout the week so students are well prepared for the assessment. The last few videos of Module 4 are posted below.
Science: We will continue to work through Chapter 8 which is covering the human body.
Resources:
Tuesday- Art/ Media (Ray)

Week of February 8th-12th
Our classes will attend a Code of Conduct Assembly on Monday. This assembly is meant to review school procedures and rules.
Early Release on Wednesday.
If students decided to pass out Valentine's, we will take time on Friday to pass these out! Please see a few posts below for class lists. If your child decides to participate they need to include everyone in their homeroom.
Academics:
ELA:
We will be completing another vocabulary reader activity this week instead of having a vocabulary list so no test on Friday. We WILL have an RRJ due Friday. On Tuesday we will continue our writing journey with an opinion prompt due on Friday.
We will continue in Module 4 of our ELA binder on the topic of natural disasters but adding some short story activities into the mix as well.
Our Bin of Happiness winners for last week were Gaby and Olivia. The secret phrase this week is
"Be my Valentine!"
Math: Math will be structured a little differently this week, the students will work in their Envision Math textbook on Monday & Tuesday to review some concepts we have previously covered. For homework, I would like for them to get on i-Ready and complete 4 lessons total over the course of Monday & Tuesday evening. Students may begin to work on these lessons today (Sunday) to get their 4 lessons in. On Wednesday we will pick up back with our Duval Math curriculum, which continues to cover dividing fractions.
Homework:
Monday: 2 i-Ready lessons
Tuesday: 2 i-Ready lessons
Wednesday: Lesson 29
Thursday: Lesson 30
Next week, we will review and get ready for the end of unit 4 assessment! We will plan to assess on Wednesday. Unit 5 will begin on Thursday and will begin volume!

Week of February 1st-5th
Report cards & a current data sheet reflecting Achieve 3000 & i-Ready data will be sent home on Monday, be sure to sign and return both of these sheets. Also, the total number of books read will be listed on this sheet. All totals are based on RAH logs turned in at the time we calculated them. Any late RAHs will count toward the third quarter. There will be an ice cream celebration for all students who have read 12 or more books to date! :)
Bartram Springs National Elementary Honor Society is collecting items to make activity bags for Wolfson Children's Hospital. Please consider sending in any of the following items to assist in this service project. Crayons, coloring books, puzzle books, Sudoku, crafts, water color paints and paper, colored pencils, etc. Let's help to make the day brighter for a child in the hospital!
The BSE School Advisory Committee will meet Tuesday, February 2 at 6:00 pm for the annual Mid-Year Stakeholder Meeting. It will be held in the Media Center. Everyone is welcome!
Congratulations to Mackenzie for going to the district science fair last week! She was selected as a finalist and was interviewed about her project. She did a fantastic job! We are so proud of her.
New Expectations for the second half of the year!
In order to prepare our students for the rigorous requirements of middle school, we will be instituting some new requirements for the second semester of the year.
While late work will still be accepted there will be a penalty of 10 pts. for any assignment turned in past the due date. (Exception made if student is absent. Work must then be turned in promptly upon arrival back to school.)
All students must have their independent reading book every day without exception or it will result in an unearned conduct for materials.
Academics:
ELA: We will not have a vocabulary test this week. Instead we will be working with leveled vocabulary readers and students will complete an assignment due on Friday.
With the FSA approaching we will begin to practice test type questions to prepare for the test!
We will have an end of the unit assessment on Friday based on our current topic of Natural Disasters.
We will also take a mini-assessment on the various standards we are working on in class. These are based on articles. There will be no RRJ this week. We WILL have another writing prompt due on Friday. We will practice a timed writing with this prompt as well.
Bin of Happiness winners this week are Peyton S. and Sophie. The secret phrase this week is
"We have the WRITE stuff to succeed!"
Our writing is really coming along and I am confident our students will be prepared for the District FSA Writing Exam the week of Feb. 29th!
Math: I feel that the students have a pretty good understanding of multiplying fractions at this point so we will be moving on to division of fractions. We will begin by comparing fractional pieces and then start dividing fractions by a whole number. We will spend several days working on this concept.
We will do a couple lessons from our math textbooks this week, so homework may look a little different.
Homework:
Monday: Topic 11-7
Tuesday: Module 4 Lesson 23
Wednesday: Module 4 Lesson 25
Thursday: Module 4 Lesson 26
We are also going to spend some time going through the FSA software, to become familiar with tools and resources on the website. This website can also be accessed at home. I recommend working on this website with your student. There is also a practice test available.

Science: We will continue our study of plants and animals this week. We will work through a Gizmo. We will test on plants and animals on Friday, February 12th.
