Happy Mother's Day!!
A heartfelt wish for a happy and pampered day to all you wonderful strong and beautiful mothers out there. May you feel the love from your family for all you do. Wishing you all the best. Congratulations to the 5th grade Mathletics team!!! ISM dis very well in the Mathletics competition yesterday at Hartnell College. Our 5th grade team of Ansh, Sindhu and Sneha not only won individual honors (Ansh and Sneha - honorable mentions and Sindhu - 2nd Place), they won 1st place for 5th grade!! I believe this is the first time and ISM team has won this honor. Thanks Ansh, Sindhu and Sneha for all your hard work in preparations and being there yesterday. We're (I'm) so proud of all of you! As we start winding down the year, the students' energy is ramping up. There is a lot of excitement in the air. We do still have a lot of learning to do. Please remind your child to stay focused and attentive in their studies. We'll be having a mid-module assessment in math this week on Wednesday or Thursday. The focus will be on determining the volume of different rectangular prisms. We'll review the unit in class before the assessment. We'll continue reading Maniac Magee this week. The story provides many examples of conflict the character is facing and allows us a chance to look at how conflicts can be resolved. We're looking at some of the literary devices the author uses to develop characters and offer great description to make the story come alive and invite us to care about the characters. The students will be learning about more of the events leading to the American Revolution this week and how the colonists decide they need to go about resolving the many conflicts they faced. Thank you to so many of you that have already signed up to volunteer for Field Day. Mr. Robby said our class has the most volunteers so far! There is another opportunity to get in some more volunteer hours on Friday, June 2nd. We will have an Engineering and Math Festival that day brought to us by the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley.

AuthorThis is my tenth year at ISM and fifth year teaching 5th grade. I enjoy working with young people and being with my family. I love being outdoors in nature, on or in the ocean. I look for ways to continue learning and growing. Archives
