Mrs. Faulkner’s Class

5th Grade Bucks start tonight!  Remember that if you answer the question at the bottom of this post and get it right, you will get a 5th grade buck tomorrow.  It’ll be a great way to gain some money in your bank account

Make sure that you are completing your Physical Activity Charts tonight.  I noticed some people not keeping up with it.  It is your homework, so if it isn’t filled out for today, you could get a blue slip tomorrow. (I know you don’t want that to happen!)

Also remember to find the median on the worksheet.  Since we learned about median today, here is your question:

What is the median of this set of data?  24, 18, 29, 13, 27

To answer – click on comments at the top of this post, type your name and answer in the boxes.

See you tomorrow for our half day of school!

Congratulations!  You have taken your first math test  in 5th grade. I’m looking forward to grading them to see how you did!

We also learned a lot about sleep. 

What was one thing that you learned about sleep?

Even though it looks like it will be a beautiful weekend, don’t forget to do those little assignments you were given!

*Fill out your sleeping chart each night, and write down your short reflection after each night.
*Correct your timed test
*Lastly, don’t forget to read!

On Monday we will do more with our checkbooks and banks.

See you then!

It was so good to see that you are all getting the preferred amount of sleep at night!  I know that it is helping you to be even more ready to learn in the mornings!  (And to keep you awake!)

As I mentioned yesterday about possibly being gone a day this week – it looks as though tomorrow is the day.  Make sure that you are good for the substitute!  I can’t wait to hear how wonderful you were when I return!

Since we talked about range today, what is the range in this set of data?    3, 10, 15, 7, 2, 28

Have a wonderful Wednesday and I hope to see you Thursday!

Well, we finally had our first Monday of school.  You all worked very hard today on your math assessments, so I’m proud of you.

I’m excited to get into our normal schedule tomorrow.  It’ll be nice to know exactly what is coming next and that way you’ll be fully prepared!

Remember to write down the time you go to bed tonight, and the time that you woke up!  We will need to keep that data to do some graphing next week!

How many hours of sleep do you think a fifth grader usually gets during one night?

You have now completed your FIRST week of 5th grade!  I bet you’re thinking that it was pretty easy!  I’m excited to start next week because we get to do our whole regular schedule starting on Tuesday. (Monday will still be a little different).

I know that you all needed a free reading book for class this week, so here is your question for today:

What is the name of the book you are reading?

Don’t forget to read some of your book this weekend, finish up your math homework, and study your math facts (even your 11′s and 12′s!)

I’m excited about the book I’m reading aloud to you, and I have a feeling you are really going to like it!

Almost a full week of school is done! Can you believe it?  It’s going by pretty fast.  I know that we haven’t done a lot of school work yet, but we are getting a lot done that we need to!

Today we talked a little bit more about our surveys.  You were quick to figure out what the frequency and cumulative frequency was, but can you remember some of the other words we talked about?

What does the word sample mean?

Today was a great second day of school!  I think that we are going to have a wonderful year!

Don’t forget to ask your friends and family your survey question.  I’m looking forward to seeing your results.

Besides today in class, has someone ever asked you a survey question before?  What was there survey about?

You were such a wonderful class today.  I’m sure you’re ears are hoping from a break tonight!  It takes a while to learn all about being in a new classroom.

Let’s see what you can remember

What was one thing that you learned today in class? (If you are new to this, click on the comments link and type your answer in there.  You won’t see your answer here until I approve it tomorrow!)

I can’t wait to see you tomorrow!

Welcome to 5th grade!

I am looking forward to meeting you on Monday night!
