Adverbs and Comparing Decimal Fractions

I made a short video to show how to find adverbs in a sentence. This should help with the worksheet assigned today.

Adverbs Tell How, When, and Where


I made another brief video showing how to compare decimal fractions. I hope this helps with today's math assignment.

Ordering Adjectives

A little help with ordering adjectives.  We practiced a few of these in a group meeting. This page also shows the order to follow, and gives examples.

Is that a noun or an adjective??? Help!

This reference was found on a website that I feel made parts of speech clear. It tells what each one is, what it does, and gives examples. If you find this helpful, go check out the website:

This is a strategy often employed by teachers. This was shared with me this morning, and I wanted to share it here in case anyone may find it helpful.

Math skills review

If you would like to see strategies for completing the daily math review, I'm going to post videos here. These links are for week 6 review, and I've broken them apart by one or two sections in each video. I will post solutions at the end of each day, or by the next noon. I apologize in advance for my voice!

Wonderful way to access school resources for students!

Below are directions for students to access their Clever account from home. This can be handy for a variety of purposes, such as: "I left my math homework at school!" Access the book at home - problem solved.

A little help with comparing fractions

This is a link to a Show Me video I made to help with practicing comparing fractions:

Faster than the speed of light!

February has flown by! It actually seems like time is traveling at the speed of light, which we just finished learning about in science. It won't be long before the end of this quarter, and soon after that we'll be on spring break!

You have probably heard the great news that Addison Elementary earned our STEM certification. It was a long process that involved every person in the entire school. We should all be proud of our hard work and dedication. If you would like to see a video that encapsulates the experience, check this out:

Here are some photos of our most recent STEM challenge teams at work:

Our students really seemed to enjoy our STEM challenge last week. Their task was to create a board game that would teach people about the water cycle. Ask your child to share all the details with you! As always, they had time constraints, building parameters, and they all had access to the same materials. Mrs. Bocarro and I felt the teams were, overall, more productive and worked better and more cooperatively this time than they have so far this year. It is gratifying to see them progress through the year, and learn that using the skills and abilities of each of their group mates helps them have a better end product.
