Class activities for Friday, November 2
Spelling: Today was the Unit 3 word preview. Look for a Words to Learn list from Unit 2 to come home on Monday.
Cursive: Cursive pages 32-34 were due today. Sadly, approximately 12 students chose to work on their cursive during their recess, instead of having their cursive done during the week. Ask your student what choices they made.
Reading: Today was a Literature Circles discussion day.
Writing: Today was the final publishing day for the final piece of writing of the marking period. The next piece of writing is due November 28.
Math: Today was a MiniQuiz over the data landmarks: maximum, minimum, range, mode and median. We also had Math Skills. Ask your student what they were working on today!
Science: We reviewed our experiment from Monday about different ways to connect the parts of a circuit. We also had Science Inquiry today. Students explored magnets, electricity, weight and designing ramps.
Social Studies: None on Fridays. We will have a test over US Regions on Tuesday.
- Yellow magnets: 0
- Orange magnets: 0
- Red magnets: 0
