Class activities for Monday, September 15
Spelling: We finished a mini poster about using apostrophes in contractions, but not in possessive pronouns. You student has a copy in their Google Drive; ask them to show you!
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays. One easy kind of sentence to write over and over is a pangram (has all letters of the alphabet). Here are two examples:
- The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
- The five boxing wizards jump quickly.
Reading: Today, we practiced visualizing a text and determining important parts.
Writing: None today due to our technology time. We solved computer programing puzzles at Code.org today.
A personal narrative is due Monday, September 22. Students should be finishing their draft at this point. Homework is to finish the draft by Tuesday.
Math: We practiced converting between fractions and decimals. Students also used MobyMax to practice math skills. Homework is to practice math for at least 15 minutes, using Khan Academy or MobyMax.
