Askeland's Adventures - 1/20/2017

Happy Friday!

Here's this week's update:

3/4 DEB: This week in DEB we worked on making our storyboards for our "Diary of a ________" books. We also made "What if...?" questions for our books and finished our research for our animals. - Holli

5/6 DEB: This week, we watched a re-enactment of parts of the Brown v. Board of Education case, so we could see how Supreme Court cases are tried. We reflected on how the world would be different today if that case had not occurred. Finally, we research on specific landmark court cases so we have some ideas of what cases we can research in-depth. - Ms Askeland (I forgot to ask a student for their summary!)

5th Grade Advanced Math: This week we took our retakes, our fluency, and did a little bit of algebra. We also did a bit of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. - Evelin

6th Grade Advanced Math: This week we completed our reteaching and took the Unit 2 Summative Assessment. We also completed the Real World Experience and our fluency tests. - Ms. Askeland

Next week we will begin our new units in 5th and 6th Grade Advanced Math: 





  • In 5th Grade Math, we will start with Rational Numbers and then begin Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities.
  • In 6th Grade Math, we will begin our study of Ratios and Proportional Relationships. 
  • I will also begin assigning homework to keep our skills fresh for PARCC testing in April.
  • Unit 2 tests will be sent home early next week.


Have a wonderful weekend!
