Class activities for Tuesday, November 24
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: No cursive assignment this week.
Reading: Students received new Literature Circles book groups and they planned the number of pages to read each day throughout the book.
Writing: Students completed editing conferences today, looking for mistakes with spelling, capitals, sentence sense, paragraphs, and editing for dialogue.
Today was the last school work day for this piece. If your student has more editing or publishing work to do, or if they are behind schedule and aren’t yet done with their draft, your student will need to work this week and weekend to finish up. Homework is to finish this story. A fiction story will be due Monday, November 30.
Math: We practiced rounding and place value skills today using MobyMax Math.
Here are some skills we’ve been working on lately:
Homework is to practice MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for at least 15 minutes.
Science: Students completed an experiment to test what types of materials electricity can move through. Homework is to finish the Conductors and Insulators experiment if not done in class.
Social Studies: We continued working on our Market Day website today, getting it ready for Market Day next week. Congratulations to Skylar, who was chosen as webmaster. We’ll start adding web pages tomorrow.
