December 1st, 2014
Class activities for Monday, December 1
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays.
Reading: None today due to extra time with science.
Writing: We reviewed the idea of making dialogue important to the story. Dialogue should help tell the story. If some of the dialogue is just “chit chat,” and not important, then those parts can be removed so the story is organized better.
Students also continued to work on their draft.
A fiction story is due Monday, December 12. Your student should be drafting at this point, and over half done with their story draft.
Math: We learned about graphing points and solving problems on coordinate graphs.
Homework is to practice math for 15 minutes or more using MobyMax or Khan Academy, and to finish level up on these skills if not done in class:
Science: Students completed a science experiment today that modeled how traits can help an animal survive in its environment. Students will graph and analyze the data from this experiment tomorrow.
Social Studies: None today due to extra time with the science experiment.
