Class activities for Friday, January 29
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Cursive pages 46-48 are available and due on Friday.
Reading: Today was a reading skills and AR practice day. Also, students that completed their AR point goal for the second marking period played in a grade-wide dodgeball game.
Writing: Students worked with a partner to write a practice literary essay (here’s a sample and here’s an example essay we wrote together).
A literary essay will be due Friday, February 12.
Math: We continued to practice multiplying using the standard method using MobyMax Math. Here are some skills we’ve been working on lately:
- Multiply a 1-digit number by a multiple of 10, 100, and 1000
- Multiplying tens
- Multiplication without regrouping
- Multiplication with carrying
Homework is to practice MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for at least 15 minutes.
Science: Today students used balanced to practice measuring mass. Homework is to finish the Using a Balance experiment if not done in class.
Social Studies: We wrote notes about ways an economy can change and started learning about public goods and services provided by the government. There will be a MiniQuiz on Monday about changing economies and outsourcing.
