Class activities for Friday, May 2, 2014
Spelling: None today due to an assembly about internet safety.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Friday.
Reading: Students completed a STAR Reading test today.
Writing: Today, we talked about having a double focus in a poem. For example, a poem could be written about grandpa’s big, old, tough shoes, but the shoes can also tell us about grandpa.
A collection of poems will be due Friday, May 16.
Math: Today was a Khan Academy work day in math. Homework is to work on MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for 15 minutes or more.
Science: We look at our plant needs experiments (photos here) on Day 3. Plants with too much heat or cold were not doing well. The plants testing lack of water, light, or air needed more time for us to see results. See the photos for more details.
Social Studies: We read an article about a law being vetoed by President Bush. We’ll have a MiniQuiz next week about checks and balances.
