5th Grade Social Studies

    Students will begin to work on their Hispanic Heritage Month Projects. Students will have to present slideshow about a person we celebrate during Hispanic heritage month. 

We will spend three class periods discussing what information to include, how our slideshow should be presented, as well as how to outline information we find to include into our slides. Projects will be due October 20!
    
    Students will also be reviewing chapter 1 from their textbook. There will be two homework assignments given this week. Students should also be working on their projects during the week.

Coding
 3rd-5th grade:
  • Students were introduced to Scratch by adding sprites and backgrounds, and short code segments to do animations
  • Students learn how characters can interact with each other by using sensing blocks and forever loops; they make a basic game where a Hungry Cat catches Apples. 
  • Students design a personalized birthday card for a family member or friend. They program the animations to run when the character-- or sprite-- is clicked.
6th-8th grade:
  • Students learned an introduction to simplified JavaScript, one of the most popular programming languages of the web.
  • Students use coordinates to place cookies around the screen and then added a function to allow the user to virtually eat them.
  • Students create an original project and reflected on the potential unintended consequences of apps.

Physical Education (Gym)

A reminder to all students, school uniform is being enforced so please come prepared for gym on Fridays. Proper gym attire includes school gym shirt and pants as well as sneakers. Students are also reminded that participation and conduct are a huge part of your grade, so please be aware of this as progress reports are coming up.

As always, if there is any questions about what we will be doing during the week, please feel free to reach me at MrBonilla@olqmnyc.org

THANK YOU & HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!!
