Class activities for Tuesday, November 27
Spelling: None today due to finishing the writing prompt started yesterday.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.
Reading: None today due to working with partners to review and discuss the prompt writing. Partners compared the writing to a checklist to look for areas of strengths and areas to improve upon.
Writing: We talked about a “big picture” lead, which is a lead that gives the reader an overall idea of who the main character is, what the character wants, and what the problem is.
The next piece of writing, a fiction piece, is due Friday, December 14. Students should be prewriting at this point.
Math: We continued to practice dividing using the standard method of division. Today, we focused on division problems with a zero in the answer. Homework is to finish Journal P4-6.
Science: We used this time to discuss the prompt writing mentioned above.
Social Studies: None today due to our math skills time.
